Clayton Hauck. Roller coaster enthusiast, world traveler, and karaoke superstar. Clayton Hauck takes photos & loves doing it. With a background in film production and editing Clayton has always been driven to create engaging and compelling stories with the help of his camera. Delivering great images to clients is his favorite thing; along with making people smile and eating too much pizza. From exploring the menu at the new restaurant, honing his home cocktail skills, or manning a crew on set -- Clayton does it all & loves every minute.

Jason Little. Jason Little has spent two decades pointing a camera at things people want to eat, arguably the most important job in history. He started out in the trenches—shooting nightlife for a free daily newspaper, which is the photojournalistic equivalent of learning to cook by being thrown into a grease fire. Since then, he’s helped shape the visual identities of global brands, proving that the right image can make you crave something you weren’t even thinking about.
