Andrew Saliga

Commercial Photography and Film

I shoot food, drink, and product photography, and work commercial and documentary sets as a 1st AC and camera operator. Brands I’ve worked with include Walmart, Kraft Heinz, Scooter’s, Happy Egg, Purina, National Geographic, NASA and more.

Whether I’m flying solo or teaming up with others, I like to keep things organized, clear, and moving forward—because chaos and creativity don’t need to live under the same roof.

A little more detail…

My attention to detail, adaptability, and work ethic have been my foundational advantages when approaching any task or challenge.
High school experience running camera and audio for events led to choosing a path in college attaining a degree in multimedia production. After receiving my degree I was hired by Steelehouse Productions as a shooter, and editor. For nearly a decade, my role evolved, grew, and was refined. I set up multiple systems and processes that helped the team rise to the next level. I gained experience shooting, editing, managing postproduction workflows.
I am currently a freelancer specializing in food and beverage photography and commercial film production.

Photo

Video has the luxury of incorporating movement of the subject and camera to captivate. A photo is a single frame with a brief opportunity to communicate.
My full photography portfolio covers a range of styles and genres. Food, drink, and commercial photography are my specialties. Notable food and beverage brands I’ve shot for include Scooter’s, 1st Phorm, Happy Egg, and Bearded Iris. To view my dedicated food and beverage portfolio, head over to Humble Garnish Studios. Other clients I’ve worked with include high-end restaurants and clubs like The Summit Club to clothing brands like Carhartt.

The Humble Garnish

An enthusiasm for food and drink along with a desire to share the experience with others led to the creation of The Humble Garnish.

Created with the founding principle that one can be particular without being pretentious, I’ve been sharing recipes and reviews since 2014.

I’ve judged cocktails for the Philbrook MIX alongside Paul Clarke and David Wondrich, was a finalist in the 2017 Mahon Gin cocktail competition, and was previously a contributing writer for Drinkwire and The Tulsa Voice. I also designed The Cocktail Coin, a collectible built around the Old Fashioned, in collaboration with Invisible Element.
