Our company hired Chuck to photograph our newly refreshed bar and lounge, the Sideways Lounge in Buellton, California. Suffice to say we are extremely satisfied with the results. Chuck is highly skilled at food & drink photography, lifestyle photography and interior/exterior real estate photography, and it shows in the final images. He is a pleasure to work with: easy going, communicative, takes direction well and a very hard worker. He will shoot all day if the job requires it. If you are looking for a bar/restaurant/hotel/real estate/lifestyle photographer, look no further.

Chuck Place's photography makes my mouth water! Food! Wine! Restaurants! At Sunset we said photography should make you want to be there, and Chuck's images do that and more, with great color, great composition, and an obvious knowledge of the Central Coast food and wine territory. If you're in that biz, or your clients are, you need to call Chuck. George Olson Former Director of Photography Sunset Magazine

Our organization has worked with Chuck for several years. He has photographed dozens of restaurants and food items for our publication. Each time we receive a new set of photos, we're delighted by his consistency to produce clean, creative, and most importantly, tasty images. Chuck is also great about communication and is open to ideas about assignments. It can be tough for an artist to balance creativity and client needs, but Chuck does both professionally with speed, enthusiasm, and keen attention to detail.
