Breakfast with some composition and soft diffused light.

Food is joy.

Late night dinner on the street at the Chinese barbecue restaurant Neon Smoke in Lisbon, Portugal.

Thanks to model Claudia Brum.

This photograph freezes the elegant moment of red wine being poured into a glass. The black background creates a strong contrast, making the rich red tones of the wine stand out. Carefully controlled lighting highlights the texture of the liquid, the clarity of the glass, and the dynamic motion of the pour.

Bubbles rising inside the wine add a sense of freshness and movement, while the composition keeps the focus simple and refined. A clean, minimal setup with high-speed capture turns an everyday moment into a visually striking image

This photo is special because it was born from the Portugal ID project, which aims to promote Portuguese culture through gastronomic images with personality.

I created a window like a shadow puppet by shining a light separately on a white background.

This image of Chita Craft Umeshu showcases the artistry of product photography through meticulous lighting and composition. A smooth gradient blue background is used as a backlight, allowing the amber color of the plum liqueur to glow with clarity and warmth. A subtle top-side light highlights the curvature of the glass bottle, adding dimension and transparency.

The bold red and gold label is carefully illuminated to enhance its vibrancy without overpowering the overall balance. Light falloff and shadow control are precisely managed to retain the richness of the bottle’s texture while ensuring the label remains crisp and legible.

Positioned on a dark base, the bottle casts a soft, grounded shadow that adds depth and visual stability. This composition masterfully balances color contrast, material expression, and spatial tension, making it a standout example of how photography can convey both product quality and brand story in a single frame.
