“Mick worked at the Grand Hyatt Nashville throughout 2020 and 2021. During this time we discovered his photography & videography talents. After seeing several pieces of his work, we began to incorporate Mick’s talents as he assisted us with professional shoots and staging. Mick also produced content for our website and & social media that included beautiful photos and videos of our hotel and restaurant. Mick and his team have my highest professional recommendation.”

Dear Chef Chris & Emma,
Thank you for being a local inspiration. I am a frequent customer and I truly enjoy what you’ve created with S.S. Gai.
Having previously worked in restaurants, hotels, and cafes for several years, I fell in love with hospitality and the people who work within it.
Since going full-time in photography & video production (after a decade of experience honing my skills), my heart has stayed within the hospitality industry. Now I focus on merging the things I love: cameras, creativity, food, & hospitality.
I’m on a mission to tell great stories in hospitality through content creation.
You may have seen my work before, if you’ve seen anything from our mutual friends at NOKO, or any of Sean Brock’s restaurants. These are a few clients I have an ongoing partnership with. I’ve been very fortunate to do well in my little business and am grateful.
But the truth is, lately I’ve gotten a little too comfortable and even somewhat bored! So I’m reaching out to 5 of my favorite restaurants in town, with a very special gift offer.
My Gift To You ( if you’d consider accepting )
I eat at at S.S. Gai i so frequently. So much so, that I would like to produce some video content at completely no cost to you. In fact, just feed me and my team, and we will create something with you that I promise you’d be thrilled with!
And if you’re happy with our work, I would love for you to consider an ongoing partnership where we provide photography and social media videos every month, as a kind of bartership. Food is a very valid form a payment for my most basic content packages, in my opinion :)
Please check out my work and if you’re interested, I would love to have a quick chat to share more about what we can do for you.
Thanks again for being you and bringing S.S Gai to our neighborhood!

hospitality video content
Below are some samples of my video work in hospitality. While I love photography, when it comes to my passions, cinematic storytelling via video has always taken the cake.

Hospitality Headshot + Lifestyle Photography
Below, I share a small handful of my efforts to capture the human spirit by photographing people. Because hospitality would be nothing without the individuals who make our industry magical.
