This piece was shot in downtown Atlanta at Staplehouse restaurant. According to bon appetite magazine, “Staplehouse is the Number One Best New Restaurant in America 2016.” Ben used his Sony F5 and Canon lenses on this shoot with NBC correspondent Gabe Gutierrez. Ben chose this camera because it’s very good at low light and they shot the restaurant at night. It’s also a great interview camera because paired with great lenses, it can shoot at a shallow depth-of-field. These guys at Staplehouse are really busy! They were gracious enough to let Ben and his crew shoot one evening and then return the next day for interviews. If you plan on eating at Staplehouse, you need to get your reservations in early, like real early. They’re often booked week in advance. They do however have a walk-up bar if you want to chance it. Check out the piece below.
