Two of my favorite things in the world are pistachios and Jack Daniels. My wife gave me this cool pistachio dish for Christmas and thought it deserved to be photographed.

Fresh tomato soup with tomatos from the garden! Topped with basil and some roasted bread chips! Quick and easy cooked but absolutely tasty! Enjoy it warm or cold!

This strawberry cheesecake is from my simplicity serie. In this serie I only use daylight. I want the pictures to look fresh and bright.

Oven baked Pink Lady apple lasagna.
A simple idea from few leftover apples to create a healthy and delicious dessert.
Finished with some raw organic honey.

Summer 2016, too many rainy days and if you need some sunshine on your plate! I had so much fun to cook and shoot with this lovely colors and I probably don't have to tell that this Raviolis tasted heavenly.
I always shoot with available light (flash and I will never be closest friends) and I really try to get the dish served hot - my boys appreciate my effort.

A Berry Tale come true!
During the unusual hot days in July here in Austria we felt the urge to create a refreshing summer drink. We came up with a combination of blackberries, green tea, lime juice, muscovado sugar, a splash of Bourbon (optional) and lots of crushed ice.

I saw a bag of shelled mixed nuts in the grocery store and thought how beautiful they were and would make a nice picture. I put together this set in my home and used a hot light directed through a cucoloris to break up the light. I sent it out as a holiday card.
