Seventeenth Collection
This is the charcuterie board at Tower12 in Hermosa Beach. This was part of their PR campaign when the restaurant opened in 2017. Lit with window light and a reflector.
Like the cartoon character Popeye I do really like spinach soup. It is a healty and well tasting soup that goes well with eggs. Perhaps it is a wonder soup that makes you strong as a super person like Popeye when hi is eating it or maybe it is only in the cartoon world
I used natural light. I prepared this dish and plated after one of my favorite cooks from Romania, Chef Nico Lontras. A nice layer of tonka cream is hidden under "thick" layer of edible earth (made of chocolate). Fresh fruits and crunchy finnish bread were used to decorate and enhance the taste.
Organic Brick Oven Pizza.

Rustic. That was the main intent behind this shoot. It had to reflect the relaxed, authentic, rustic look and feel of the restaurant. All ingredients come directly from their orchards, hence the ingredients speak for themselves.
The late afternoon light here accentuates the texture, layers and shadow cast by a slice of puff pastry tart topped with slices of pear, fresh porcini mushrooms and crumbled goat cheese.
These cupcakes were made to Cidรกlia, who celebrated her birthday recently and were a present from her daughter, Mรกrcia. It was my absolute pleasure to make them and be part of their special dinner. They were Greek yogurt cupcakes, with raspberry coulis and vanilla buttercream: yum!
This is an almond sablee pie with dulce de leche, whipped cream and strawberries filling and of course, lots of dulce de leche and macarons te decorate on top!
This photo I took on a sunny spring day last year, while making my breakfast I felt like taking a picture and this is the result. Yogurt with cruesli and fresh blueberries and colourful flowers in the background!

A perfect Sunday starts with a quinoa and baby kale salad topped with pan-fried wild salmon. The breakfast ends with full of energy and healthiness.
Chicken leftovers and a great broth from yesterdays chicken boil became a very tasty ramen - My motivation is passion. I prepare all of the dishes by myself and after that it's a challenge to take the pic because I normally have a few minutes to take the pic before I have to eat it.
The finished product - biscotti with pecans and dried cranberries garnished with melted chocolates and ground pecans. I enjoyed them dipped in coffee followed by a nice nap.
Homemade tart. Main ingredients: whole wheat flour and strawberry jam. The photograph was taken on rustic table to highlight the craftsmanship of the product
Spanish French Toast recipe photographed for the New York Times Cooking section @nytfood. Made with large, very thick slices of eggy bread, like brioche or challah, preferably stale. A delicious breakfast topped off with warmed maple syrup. Styled by @the_bojon_gourmet and @snixykitchen.
The Moscow Mule is a very common drink around my home. I love the look of the copper mug and on a slow day I decided to photograph one just to do it. Most of my photography is for restaurants, so it is always fun just to do something on my own. I created this image by a window in my home using only window light.
One of the photos taken by a homemade pastry in Rome specialized in Macaron.
I tried with my photographic treatment to emphasize the goodness and precision construction of these little masterpieces.
Thank to Dolce Lab Macaron
This Superfood-masterpiece is as delicious as it looks. A juicy citrus-salmon on top of Quinoa tricolore, paired up with different, colorful oven-roasted vegetables is garnished with pomegranate seeds. Different tastes combined in one dish. Healthy, colorful, simply delicious food.
This classical Wiener Schnitzel tastes as delicious as it looks. Top it with fried egg, add tomato salad, baked potatoes, sprinkle it with some lemon juice and you have a perfect and rich meal.

A cocktail and a snack in a Tapas Bar called 27 Tapas in Lima / Peru. Chef Carlos Testino created this amazing place, where you can find 27 different tapas and have a great time enjoying great cocktails, wines, and the best Iberian productos froms Spain, like Jamon de bellota or salame. This snack it's fried shrimps with garlic mayonnaise.
Hummm!!! This is one of my favorite dishes in my restaurant! Asian tuna tartare; with avocado, ginger, wasabi, sesame seeds, red onion and caviar in top! The flavors are so well balanced, it's hard to stop eating.

Delicious berry waffles. This restaurant is mostly known for their evening ambiance and delicious dinner, however they wanted to let people know about their great breakfast options. The waffles were an obvious choice.
A photo of food prep/ingredients can take one through a little tour of what makes a dish so flavorful and appealing to the senses. These are the essentials for making kimchi fried rice.
This cake was made for a sweet little girl named Sofia, who celebrated her first birthday last February. I loved the final buttercream colour and look, it is fresh and makes me think of Spring...
Brownie cookie sandwiches with dulce de leche filling and sprinkles, because life with sprinkles is always better! I always like how a "human" component adds life to a picture so I'm always trying to incorporate my hands when I'm taking pictures of my products!

All the fat and flavors are wrapped by the hand-made bun.
I took this in the process of dipping pecan & cranberry biscotti into melted chocolates. I included the recipe for anyone interested.
