Where to start? Today’s guest is an entrepreneur, restaurateur, real estate junky and the list goes on. He is not a business man. He’s a business, man. Originally, I sought Nico for his work at Capo’s Restaurant and Speakeasy, but once I started pulling back the layers, I quickly realized it would be easier to explain what he hasn’t done, rather than what he has. I could spell it all out here, but you'd be better off Googling "Nico Santucci Black Door Global", and pulling back the layers just like I did.

The food industry prevails in Chicago and New York City, and much of Derek’s work centers around it. He is able to capture food like never before and define it in new ways. He has worked with top chefs, restaurants, hotels and corporations to capture the perfect "food selfie". Today, he is going to share with you his secrets. Derek will tell us how pre-visualization, quality of light, digging deeper and depth of field will increase the quality of your next food photo.
