Bars and Restaurants, Jacksonville

Food, cocktails and bartenders at work at Lucky’s, Surfer The Bar and Birdies in Jacksonville, photographed for the bars in 2025 and 2026.

I photographed these for three Jacksonville bars: Surfer The Bar at the beach in 2025 and 2026, and Lucky’s and Birdies in 2026. They were made for the bars’ social media and promotions.

Everything was shot where it is served, in the bar’s own light: the plate next to the menu, the twist of peel over the glass, the bartender in the middle of a pour, and the beach behind the deck.
