Sixtieth Collection

Shot for a local pizza chain that wanted their images to tie-in with their uniquely rustic Australian brand identity. I often encourage clients to consider low-key options, which are under-utilized in this market. We've got some really nice shadow-play happening here - particularly with the light spilling onto the deck through the old-school cheese grater that speaks to the 'hand made with pride' philosophy of their business.

This was my first try at a classic citrus zest shot. Thought I failed until I saw the image on the big screen. Just increased the clarity in that area and wow, there it was! Happy days.

En la fotografía me gusta poder poder crear sensaciones, acá un trabajo retador y divertido para mostrar lo refrescante de esta cerveza.

Modern Desi Flavours. This photo includes a range of modern Indian dishes including starters and mains. This appealed to me as a British Asian, as it is the perfect example of Indian food with a contemporary twist. The dishes are surrounded by some of the key herbs and spices included in Indian cuisine such as bay leaves, cinnamon, chilies & lychee. I used a grey table as a background to highlight that these are modern Indian dishes, as grey is a popular color used in new kitchens.

I used a Nikon D750 with a 24-70mm lens and I shot this using natural light.

This classic Italian dessert takes a delicious twist! This Hazelnut Tiramisu is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays...or any day! Recipe and further pictures can be found on my website https://www.sweetsandlifestyle.com/haselnuss-tiramisu/

Some campaigns don't need to be over-thought. This is a far simpler shot than I'm used to lighting, though it answers the brief well (bright, fresh, healthy morning vibe)! We have a good modeling light giving round form to the coffee cup in the background and highlights are managed well. This is clear to see by the texture captured on even a flat yogurt surface.

I love the warmth of this shot, which reminds me of so many happy memories of barbecues with friends. Capturing the medium-rare cross-section of the meat was the biggest challenge for this shot, though bouncing the back-light into a small mirror and back into the cross-section area gave it the clarity we needed.
This succulent cut was shot in-studio, using no natural light - just Bowens 500W monoblocks + studio tricks! The aim was to recreate a distinctly Australian outdoor quality of light, which was done by firing my key light through a custom-made flag on which I'd stenciled-out the silhouette of a gumtree canopy. It was a lot of work, but the client took some great images to market themselves with to Europe in the months following the shoot, where they won the accolade of 'The best beef in the world'!

Es emocionante crear imágenes que se vienen a la mente, explorar las opciones visuales y plasmarlas en una fotografía. Amo hacer fotografías creativas :)

Perspectives can be tricky to manage with food photography. For me, one of the most important elements in this shot is actually the chunky rustic cutlery, which gives a real sense of scale to this MONSTER steak! This was a last-minute addition to the styling. I also selected smaller dishes to surround the meat hero, so as to not dwarf it. The backlit rise of torched rosemary smoke provides the final magic.
