One Hundred and Second Collection

When VegNews reached out with an editorial project for the Best of Vegan issue, I was thrilled.
The task was to create four images, they were looking for bold, clean, and colorful.
Each image would be a hero on its own to showcase the idea of an awarded item.
This image, the vegan chicken sandwich, was also selected for the cover of the magazine.

How to make the humble mashed potato look appealing? Using colour and props to tell the story, fresh green herbs added to the dish, scissors midway through cutting the chives, using linen to replicate the fold of the silky smooth potato. The visual weight of the spoon ready for someone to pick up and scoop up the buttery goodness.

Mood of spring tulip flowers. Coffee with fresh Sicilian Blood orange juice.

Tasty sandwich with flying components. This image is an explosion of genuine and fresh ingredients, which I decided to represent in a creative way. Bon apéti ;)

I absolutely love Johnnie Walker Blue Label Whiskey with its’ smoked wood flavor and was inspired to take a photo of it! Used some new post production techniques with this photo.

Lithuanian honey cake is more than just a dessert; it's a symbol of Lithuanian culture and hospitality. It's often shared with guests as a sign of welcome and respect.

With its delightful combination of honey, spices, and creamy layers, this cake remains a cherished dessert that represents the heart and soul of Lithuanian culinary traditions.

This time I baked this MEDUTIS for my son's very special 15th Birthday! 🤍

Homemade blueberry marshmallows. A delicious sweet treat with freeze dried blueberries to add some vitamins to it. This was a custom recipe done for one of my clients (BRIX) who makes the most amazing freeze dried fruit.

I like to eat biscuits with maple syrup. I really like how they sparkle when the light hits them. I used darker colors for everything except the main biscuit so that the main biscuit stands out.

"Forbidden Apple". Shooting for a a very famous bakery in Tirana, Albania "Buka Ime".

Swiss “Weggli” are bread rolls typically served for breakfast or as a snack with some butter and honey (or jam).
They have a soft texture with a lightly crisp crust. A staple in bakeries throughout Switzerland.

Coffee is magic!

I shot a similar chain-reaction scene with honey and spoons, back in 2019. That photo has been digitally presented in London's Mall Galleries and I still remember how much fun I had while figuring out the concept and building the set for the honey shot, and what a huge achievement the recognition was - one of the first wins of my career… so I decided to revisit the concept now and turn it into this action shot.
