Seventy-Fifth Collection

A gathering with kaya toast (ft. Malaysian coffee) on a sunny day. Except the sun was a speedlight and the hands are all one person. The speedlight was placed behind a window with thin curtain sheers which diffused it ever so slightly.

The very thing I love in this picture is the light. The shooting day was moody however each and every moody day has that special light that shines through the clouds - and through the window. All you have to do is to catch it and capture. Not that easy sometimes but definitely worth trying.

This is one of my favorite coffee desserts. It’s a delicious  affogato al caffe  . I  created a warm coffee colored mood and used negative space, my hands and the high cocktail glass as leading lines.

Bringing some shine to the gray days of January with this pink-ish soft tones cranberry cake capture. The light comes slightly from the back from a speedlight & a rectangular softbox (perfect for creating this airy feel).

Galette des rois, spécialité française à déguster. Je souhaitais mettre en avant le coté rustique et ancien avec du bois, des végétaux secs et un couteau qui donne envie de se couper une belle part de galette. J'ai utilisé la lumière naturelle du moment.

This photo is very special to me as it was my first attempt at splash photography! I used natural light to capture this delicious drink. It's a famous Middle Eastern drink called (Qamar Al-Deen) which is made from dried apricot paste.

A throwback to my chef days.  Re-creating and re-shooting one of my most popular lunch specials.  It was fun to see how far the food and photography journey had progressed.

This overhead shot was part of my winter portfolio session in nordic style, showcasing the colours of the Finnish flag. My favourite flower is the blue eryngo which also can be spotted on the scene.

I have always been mesmerized by dark food photography which creates magic and mysterious atmosphere. I have developed and photographed this recipe of Chocolate Cupcakes with Hazelnuts & Cinnamon Cream Cheese for my Instagram culinary blog and decided to shoot it in minimalistic style to show off the beautiful presentation of the product itself, without any distractions on the background. This photo was shot in August and represents the last breath of summer, a sweet season of figs & berries.  The soft chocolate sponge cupcake covered with silky and smooth cinnamon cream cheese with vanilla, accompanied by adorable aromas of figs, berries, mint & lime - the taste is irresistible. I wanted to express that feeling in this photo.
