commonwealth restaurant + skybar
Many thanks to Underground Shorts for bringing me in on this project to create imagery for the Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar website. I can't believe it was nearly a year ago that I first photographed food for Alex when the restaurant was under construction. The space has a great vibe!
