Commercial Photographer SF - Michael Mina Group

Photographing the Michael Mina Group


The Michael Mina Group is one of the most recognized restaurant brands in the United States - a portfolio of fine dining and casual concepts built around the vision of James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina. In San Francisco, where the group's flagship restaurant has been a fixture of the Westin St. Francis for years, the brand occupies a specific position at the top end of the city's extraordinary restaurant culture.


This commercial photography commission for the Michael Mina Group was shot in San Francisco - producing portrait and commercial images of the people behind the brand. As a commercial photographer in San Francisco with deep experience in food, hospitality, and brand photography, Marc Olivier Le Blanc brings the editorial instincts of his portrait practice to commercial assignments: the goal is not a catalog image but a photograph that communicates the character and quality of the brand.

Commercial Portrait Work for Restaurant Brands


Portrait photography for a restaurant group requires a specific combination of skills: the ability to make people comfortable in front of a camera, the technical facility to work in varied and sometimes challenging lighting conditions, and the editorial sensibility to make images that function as brand assets without looking like brand assets.


As a professional photographer and commercial photographer working regularly with food and hospitality clients in San Francisco, Marc Olivier Le Blanc has built a practice around exactly this combination. The Michael Mina Group images were shot across multiple setups, building a visual library that serves the brand across print, digital, and event formats.
