It’s always a thrill to see my work land in unexpected places—and this week, one of my editorial images found its way into a Men’s Journal article covering Red Lobster’s bold new seafood boil rollout.
The story dives into how the restaurant chain revamped its menu in response to customer feedback, adding flavor-packed options like Cajun Butter, Roasted Garlic, and Old Bay seasoning. My photo, credited to “George Sheldon / Shutterstock.com,” helped visually anchor the piece, giving readers a taste of the atmosphere behind the culinary shake-up.
As someone who specializes in editorial stock photography, I aim to capture scenes that resonate with real-world stories—whether it’s a bustling restaurant exterior or a quiet moment on a small-town main street. Seeing my work used to support national lifestyle journalism is a reminder that even everyday images can carry weight when paired with the right narrative.
This feature also highlights the power of metadata and discoverability. With the right keywords and editorial formatting, images can travel far beyond their original context—sometimes landing in places you’d never expect.
Thanks to Men’s Journal for the feature, and to the editors who continue to value strong visuals in storytelling. If you’re curious about how editorial photography works or want to explore how metadata can elevate your own image library, I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned.
