Jamie has photographed top selling cookbooks such as Sara Moulton’s Everyday Dinners (Simon & Schuster), and Soaked, Slathered & Seasoned (John Wiley & Sons). He puts his technology chops to use producing videos for clients such as Reynolds Wrap, the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, and the French Culinary Institute, as well as consulting on best practices for online video. He also teaches courses on food video production, online video trends, food photography & styling, and on-demand publishing.  In addition to his work in food media, Jamie is active in the food community, serving as an elected member of the Board of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP).
