This shot was taken in Belgium for two very creative women. I have worked for them before, when they had their own breakfast club. They have sold the breakfast club and have now started something new. It's so inspiring to work with other creative entrepreneurs.

Oysters are one of my favorite subjects to photograph - with all their texture they are so photogenic.  I wanted to create a monochromatic color scheme and displayed these oysters in an antique silver platter that complemented the grey color of the oysters.  I chose a dark grey background and used antique seafood forks to carry through on the color scheme.  A touch of color was added by the lemons to break up the monochromatic color scheme.

These native rock oysters from the Nambucca River estuary south of Coffs Harbour are stunning!! Sydney rock oysters are world renowned for their rich and creamy taste, and those that flourish in the Nambucca River – known as an oyster ‘sweet spot’, are quite likely some of the best oysters you will ever have the pleasure to devour. The Nambucca is blessed with a very clean river system, fed from highly mineralised water that comes straight off the mountains, which is why the shells are so white and the flavour so unique. <br />
I was nervous and excited to shoot these oysters as it was my first time! With a few tips from our Oyster sommelier I was able to style these gems in a simple way allowing their natural textures and colours to shine. By tilting the shell in different ways, I was also able to see how the light played off and when I was happy with the set up , I clicked this image with my 100mm lens.

I wanted to make a creative pattern and suddenly I noticed a little tuk tuk that I bought in Thailand.  I immediately decided that they would deliver something and it should be food related to the tropics, and then the idea of ​​a coconut and beautiful Raffaello balls that fit exactly on a tuk tuk came to my mind.

Wanted a rich, moody, and luxurious feel, but with a bit more of a natural edge with the matcha, hence the dark and moody lighting and wooden props. This shot is actually a composite of 5 shots!

I love breakfasts at weekend. Slow mornings, no rush anywhere and certainly  a coffee in bed. Even better when it comes with freshly baked pastries.

I wanted to display this cocktail and the Bushmills in a unique way.  I selected a grey textured background and used black geometric shapes to give the image dimension without distracting from the cocktail.  I also focused the light on the upper portion of the drink and the Bushmills label to draw the focus to the cocktail and to recess the geometric shapes into the background.
