Food styling: Pete May.
Pete gets credited right off the bat with this shot because of the PERFECT prop selection! This old wooden tray reminded me of traveling in India - it's exactly the style of the tray that chai would often be carried around on. The product being hero'd here is a flatbread for making fresh, healthy samosas. Yum!
Shot for a local pizza chain that wanted their images to tie-in with their uniquely rustic Australian brand identity. I often encourage clients to consider low-key options, which are under-utilized in this market. We've got some really nice shadow-play happening here - particularly with the light spilling onto the deck through the old-school cheese grater that speaks to the 'hand made with pride' philosophy of their business.
Some campaigns don't need to be over-thought. This is a far simpler shot than I'm used to lighting, though it answers the brief well (bright, fresh, healthy morning vibe)! We have a good modeling light giving round form to the coffee cup in the background and highlights are managed well. This is clear to see by the texture captured on even a flat yogurt surface.

No suelo usar luz continua en mis fotos, pero quería hacer esta fotografía como un reto, mostrando que se puede trabajar con cualquier luz que tengamos, solo entendiendo cómo funciona la luz.
I love the warmth of this shot, which reminds me of so many happy memories of barbecues with friends. Capturing the medium-rare cross-section of the meat was the biggest challenge for this shot, though bouncing the back-light into a small mirror and back into the cross-section area gave it the clarity we needed.
This succulent cut was shot in-studio, using no natural light - just Bowens 500W monoblocks + studio tricks! The aim was to recreate a distinctly Australian outdoor quality of light, which was done by firing my key light through a custom-made flag on which I'd stenciled-out the silhouette of a gumtree canopy. It was a lot of work, but the client took some great images to market themselves with to Europe in the months following the shoot, where they won the accolade of 'The best beef in the world'!

This coffee has so many names; Dalgona Coffee, frothy coffee, whipped Coffee, cloud Coffee, and magic coffee. Dalgona Coffee is incredibly easy to make with only 3 ingredients! Recipe and further pictures can be found on my website https://www.sweetsandlifestyle.com/dalgona-coffee-schaumkaffee/
Perspectives can be tricky to manage with food photography. For me, one of the most important elements in this shot is actually the chunky rustic cutlery, which gives a real sense of scale to this MONSTER steak! This was a last-minute addition to the styling. I also selected smaller dishes to surround the meat hero, so as to not dwarf it. The backlit rise of torched rosemary smoke provides the final magic.

Affogare is Italian for 'drowning'. In fact, affogato is a delicious dessert, where vanilla ice has been drowned in coffee. So, it is very suitable for capturing the motion of pouring the espresso.

The simple act of peeling potatoes can be beautiful! Captured with Canon 5D Mark IV using a 50mm Art Series Sigma lens ISO 125 - SS 1/200 - F9 using Elinchrom D-lite flash.
Salted caramel gingerbread cheesecake... Certainly a hit in this household! Got a little lucky with my timing here, freezing the perfect big drop suspended in the air just before it hit the cake.
A Taste of Morocco. This photo includes a range of traditional Moroccan dishes including starters and mains. The dishes are surrounded by some key ingredients used in Moroccan cuisines such as dried fruits, bay leaves, and mint.
I used a Nikon D750 with a 24-70mm lens.
Indonesian Traditional Snack Stall. Fascinated with the richness of the traditional snacks in Indonesia, I created a scene resembling a snack stall. I selected the snacks, both sweet and savory, from several regional cuisines to be "sold" here. From the popular ones across the country to ones that can only be found in specific local markets. Textures and colors definitely come into play.
The stall was set up at home; having a Javanese lady dressed in Javanese Batik as the seller. Here she is seen scooping a local Javanese snack called Tiwul (steamed cassava granules) from a snack tray called Lenjongan, which can be found in local traditional markets in Yogyakarta and Surakarta in Central Java.
En la fotografía me gusta poder poder crear sensaciones, acá un trabajo retador y divertido para mostrar lo refrescante de esta cerveza.
