It´s a famous receipt, from A Escola by the Artist restaurant, located in Porto, Portugal. Created by the chef Hugo Dias it's composed by, eggs, shrimps, urchin, and secret sauce. It makes part of the Sensory Summer Menu of this famous restaurant.

These beautiful spring rolls were cooked and shot for my upcoming cookbook and are a recipe from my neighbor.

Shot in my studio, using natural light

I shot this photograph at a restaurant called Aurum Lounge in Middlesbrough, in the North East of England. It's independently owned and ran and loves to give a sense of 'home away from home' in the surroundings and food they serve. The menu is designed to be from 'paddock to plate', only the best organic products find their way onto the menu.

The restaurant have fabulous floor to ceiling windows, giving great natural light into the room. On the day that I shot this, the light was perfect and all I needed was a little diffused light from my speedlight to fill in some of the detail around the burger, making it the star of the show.

Tomato soup with chorizo. Even a simple daily soup took on the character with such an expressive addition. I took this photo in daylight.
