Relax Mixture from perfectly natural ingredients (grapefruit and cranberry ). Product shooting for @schukinlab. Technical data 1/160, iso 100, f/9

An unexpected photo...

Classic danish open-faced sandwich at the brewery Nørrebro Bryghus in Copenhagen. Here with sea buck herring, together with onion, capers, horse radish foam, smiling eggs, and rye bread. And of course, you should get a schnapps on the side.

Picture made for cookbook focused on healthy meals for beauty and youth. Recipe inspired by local Slovak cuisine styled in a modern way.

During the quarantine, I had taken this picture to improve my shot and food stylist quality. I had in my mind this picture for advertising companies that produce cakes, cocoa, and flour.

This was the first time I made shots of splashing drinks. I decided to go with iced tea for color and clarity. Since I wanted to have both a splash and an ice cube in the air, I used two ice cubes. Voilà! It works nicely in this frame.

With this shot, I wanted to remember a handmade pasta typical of the Abruzzo region in Italy. Guitar spaghetti. It has ancient origins handed down from generation to generation, even today this type of pasta is made with a special instrument with a wooden frame, the pasta is spread on the strings just like those of a guitar and cut into spaghetti.

The preparation of the set: preparation, lighting, preparation, and realization of the pasta, is all my work. And the fact that this photo has been selected gives me emotion and strength to continue in this discipline. Thank you.

There is something about photographing meat, I just don't know how to describe it. It's such a primal instinct, I'm shooting it but all along I'm thinking how tasty it will be! I didn't want to complicate this shot with too many props, simplicity was key for me. Dark, moody, and with a limited color palette. Rich red and brown tones, dark wood, and shiny steel. I used the main fill and barn doors to add a highlight to the fork and texture of the meat. I can tell you this was delicious, perks of the job.

Wanted to try something out of the box that’s when I brought the whole Softbox into the frame. First time doing this but the result was awesome!

Store-bought honey cake slices with some extra flair added. One of my favorite images from my personal practice collection. I used this as a case study to improve my lighting & styling for an upcoming job as I wanted to see how I could style and modify the light to show the texture and color enough to make it so that anyone who sees this image could almost reach across the screen and grab it.

The client wanted the simple rustic charm of the cafe's decor to be communicated here and the complexity of this dish's presentation was a great contrast. I wanted to keep very minimal attention on the cheap paper serviette (which I always prefer to replace with a fabric one where allowed by the client), so chose a super narrow depth of field to keep the attention on the dish itself. The DOF is what makes this shot, exaggerates sharpness, and holds the viewer's attention on the pancake here, edible flowers, berries, and syrup while letting the rest fall-away to a blur...

We want to represent a perfect scene where a couple can share a great dinner together. Food Stylist by @isalealm and product shooting for Taurus Food @taurusfood Thank you.

Olive oil cake with Rosemary and oranges. It made part of my recent blog post for November- December on my food blog. Celestial beam photography and also a collaboration with an International Olive oil brand.

For me the food is art, the food can become an expression of how I feel, and sometimes I enjoy representing it in a very unique and abstract way.

Breakfast pancake stack of slow and dreamy Sunday morning. As a food photographer, I have always wanted to take a picture of a perfect pancake stack, so this is my try, my version of perfect morning pancakes.

This is a Cosmopolitan I shot for a client, and while they didn't request a splash shot I couldn't resist at the end of the shoot... Had to throw some ice at it!

I was inspired to photograph a moody yet vibrant shot of the blackberry crumble bars I made. I stacked them for additional visual interest. To heighten the moodiness and drama I deepened the blacks when retouching.

El vino... seductor... provocativo...Fotografía realizada en mi estudio, con un Carl Zeiss Milvus 100mm macro, ISO 100, 1/100 s, f18, con 2 lámparas Elinchrom D-Lite RX4.

The Colours of India. This photo includes a range of modern Indian dishes including starters and mains. Indian culture is generally very colorful with public holidays such as Holi. The vibrant dishes and the food itself here reminded me just how bright and beautiful the culture is. 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 Nikon D750 with a 24-70mm lens to shoot this.

This new blend really stands out in this magnificent natural Australian light. As the weather is getting warmer there is nothing better than a cold green juice.

Stumbling into the kitchen early in the morning to pour out some millet to make porridge for breakfast. Being half asleep, I poured out too much and it spilled onto my marble tabletop.

Pumpkin soup. The soup is photographed differently to appear more delicious. Soup is one of the things we eat a lot, so I wanted to photograph it differently than usual.

Sometimes, the best shoots are the ones that you do spontaneously. Usually naturally shy, I decided to jump on the bandwagon on this Orange shoot. I was feeling Zesty that morning and wanted to reflect my mood through this Citrus shoot. Hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor.

There’s this cook who lost his job during this pandemic, he used to work in a very recognized sushi restaurant and was trying to survive by selling sushis from home. I really enjoyed the look and taste of his product, and thought was a really great idea to make a few pictures to help him promote his business.

Turbo-delicious piece of juicy, perfectly prepared salmon served by chef Tomasz Milewski from The New Island restaurant, Mikolajki Leisure & SPA Hotel - it was the euphoria of tastes, smells, and colors. (Mowi salmon baked in salt with wine and saffron sauce. Beetroot powder, chives oil, and young carrots boiled in oranges).

As I just started my journey as a food photographer I use all the plates and cups I can find "usable" in the house :)
As I had my breakfast I thought, wow this looks delicious, let's photograph it with a little extra: the beige napkin and keep it simple: the wood from the table was enough to style it, so it stays plain and simple (the way I love my photo's best: less is more!
