Gin fizz pomegranate cocktail - mix of gin, lime and pomegranate juice, plus decoration with egg white foam which technically makes the cocktail "royal". And my personal touch - the steaming rosemary. It is really easy to prepare even at home, just be very careful with the freshness and the origin of the eggs.

Studio photography test shot the day before a full day food and beer photo shoot with chef and stylist. I wanted to get the colour of the beer right and happened to have a bottle of Great Northern, a local beer in the fridge. Then enhanced the golden beer tones with the orange backlight.

With this photo I raised the bar high for myself: adding as much atmosphere as possible, with only a limited amount of products&props! Even with a 'simple' croissant, one can have an enjoyable breakfast.

Por medio de mi cámara busqué detallar el fruto, su color, forma y textura; así de esta manera encontraría la sutileza y la belleza de lo natural, de lo que a veces es solo invisible a nuestra mirada,  se trata de los detalles mínimos.

I love creating textures just with one light. It is simple but so elegant! The mirroring also ads an extra dimention. It feels to me like Rembrandt lighting.

Homemade pizza with cashew cream, topped with red wine poached pears, vegan blue cheese, dried Mission figs, and caramelized onion. Topped with fresh basil from our garden.

This is a traditional Glencairn whiskey glass. I wanted to portray it in a way that gives the viewer an impression of the Scottish landscape with moss, rocks and some mystic light.

I bought this bottle for the shape and the color. I liked the large punt and how it looked through the thick glass, and the contrast of the golden whiskey, and white and blue label. I tried to complement the colors with a similar background: shining two gelled lights (orange and blue) through a textured piece of plastic. I'm happy with it, though next time I'll try adding some black card to give the glass some shape since it almost disappears into the background.

The photo has been taken to a Client with their gorgeous selection of honey products. The packaging has been updated recently with yellow & blue colours in focus, so I brought this product into the natural environment that truly celebrates it!

Wanted a cosy feel, to which warm tones lend themselves very well to! The flame and droplets still add a kind of energy to this generally cosy scene, but the lack of a splash allows it to feel more calm. Captured using flash.

‘Memory Box’. A food memory that is special to you. That reminds you of a time and/or place that you look back on with great fondness. <br />
<br />
For me, it was an afternoon in a pub on the Edinburgh high street, during my first trip over to Scotland. A cosy setting on a cold day in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Planning our next stop and reminiscing about all we had done so far. This was also the first time that I had bona fide Scottish Haggis. <br />
<br />
I chose to include some mementos in this image. A map of Glencoe, which is where we were heading next. A little tiny wooden Highland Coo (cow) that I picked up there. A coin from Edinburgh Castle. The closet thing I could find to a thistle here in Melbourne in the background.

I am an absolute fan of tea and the whole process of its preparation. Nothing's better than a tea in a cold winter evening. Would you agree with me?

This is a pictures made for #laschitadelloltrepopavese, an Italian group  who love a typical food recipe of Oltrepó area : "la schita" is made only with flour, water and salt, cooked with a little bit of oil and served with gorgonzola cheese or typical "pancetta" (very thin slices of  bacon). In Oltrepó area <br />
every grandma swears to know the original recipe... But in any case every schita is tasty!

It’s so fun to have a special helper in the kitchen, especially when they can’t get in your way????. I always find it interesting to combine action with levitation.

When I saw this cake I thought it was something very close to cartoons.  I chose a pink background to make this mood even more evident.  I think it could be the “Simpsons cake”.

A shot of honey in the whiskey? Why not, simply put the blurring in the foreground of the image with the aperture open, with a little soft light from the left and right side. The contrast between the dark slate and the golden yellow shining whiskey makes this a wonderful eye-catcher. Are you thirsty?

This is a delicious Pandan Cake made in a Chiffon Tin with a simple drip glaze and pistachio topping.  The use of negative space helps draw the viewer to the visual weight of the cake.  The detail of the cake and the fabric base is highlighted by lovely soft natural side light.
