I was recently hired by Pizza Luce in the Mpls-St Paul area to photograph their seven twin cities locations for promotional materials and a new website they are about to launch. Having specialized in commercial and architectural photography in Rochester, Minneapolis, St Paul, and elsewhere,  for more than two decades, this was exactly the sort of thing I love to do. Plus, Pizza Luce was a favorite late-night eatery when I was in my twenties and spending a lot of time in downtown Minneapolis! And now they have grown to seven Twin Cities locations, as well as one in Duluth, Minnesota. Dealing with the logistics of seven locations and the time of day they are busy, when they get the best light and where they are located, was a ton of work, but in the end it all came together nicely.
