Eighty-First Collection

Shot this signature dish Iberico Pork for a modern local restaurant. This picture will be used as highlighted dish in the menu. Manage to freeze the moment with a help of speed light from the back.

Chai & Samosa (A classic combination)
This time I tried to compose 3 different styles in one frame
Food on the wall
Upside down
Flatlay
For the next composition what would you like to try?

Donut Klepon.

Picking up the trend of bringing the Klepon flavors into cakes and pastries. Klepon is a traditional sweet snack. It is glutinous rice ball flavored with pandan, stuffed with coconut sugar and then coated with grated coconut.

So with this viral food trend, I gave the donut some glaze and toppings that say Klepon: pandan flavor glaze, grated coconut and coconut sugar granules

"The fine bubbles". Sparkling drink from Perrier. An inspiration with cold colors to push the idea of refreshment.
Shooting in daylight.

Macro of top quality caviar: the gold.
this variety of caviar must have a bright and golden color.
Shot by Nikon D810, Nikkor 105 mm macro and two light suorces.

One apple a day ... Natural lightning can be so powerful, just to emphasize the photo's subject even better. Also love the colours of the apples.

Coffee time with sweets, cup with freshly made coffee and french-press coffee maker. Photo shoot of Bollire production ( @bollire.eu )

A product shot for a client. Is it the imagination or do you really see the tastes of these macaroons? Multiple shots combined to catch the idea.

Mussels mariniere in warm stout. I have to give credit to Tom Kerridge for this picture as I got the recipe for this amazing dish from his Hand and Flowers cookbook.
Taking the picture was a bit of a challenge though as I work alone and it turned out that handling an espuma gun with one hand while holding a camera remote in the other is not as easy as it may seem ????.

Ositos con Alcohol is a young brand from Spain that sells this jelly bears filled with alcohol, the perfect adult candy. They wanted to show party mood, and also the usage of the product

Created this image as part of a set of 3 to depict the bright sunshine feel associated with a cooling drink such as coconut water!

Dumplings with cottage cheese, Hungarian plum, chilli threads, flamed on tincture of pine shoots.

A collection of different shades, of green & yellow, oil splashes. All splashes were individually photographed and combined onto a blank canvas.

Super fresh and tangy, nothing beats this orange marmalade spread on top of warm pancakes. I chose muted tones for the surface and props which helps the oranges and the marmalade POP!

Delicious bundt cake with cherries and candy melts in the embrace of peonies and different shades and textures of pink, created as part of a visual update for my website.

A stew? A pie? Take your pick. It's a bit like a casserole with potatoes on top, served with bread to mop up the delicious sauce. Shot with natural light.

Food levitation is a passion now. Its so much fun, specially because it lets you weave your dream. Tried coupling dark theme with it, and it created magic. It is a composite shot under same lighting condition. Back light with flagging helps to achieve the edge illumination. Plus additional controlled lights on sides to help achieve the dramatic effect.

The perfect taste of summer. When we have cherries, blueberries and, actually, all other berries, it’s just the perfect time to make desserts with them.

As for the shot I wanted this pie to stand out from the frame. Color choice helped to make it happen.

The "Black Tie", one of 14 drinks photographed for Peet's Coffee Summer Campaign.
This iced delight is made with layered sweetened condensed milk, Cold Brew iced coffee, chicory infused simple syrup, and a float of half and half.

Dreams 21 is a barrel aged barley wine like no other. Bevog brewed a barley wine, barrel aged it, blend it with their Hagger barley wine and froze it. After weeks on -24 C, it was time to drain this super rich liquid. What you get are intense flavours with longlasting aftertaste and warming feeling.

I created this Drinks Splash image with a Godox AD300 from behind and slightly off to the side. I used Altina Drinks non alcoholic white wine and ice cubes containing rose petals as the subject and by using continuous shooting mode I had a few options to choose from.

Apricot Lady
Apricot Lady cocktail with light rum, apricot liqueur, lime juice, orange curaçao, and egg white
The Apricot Lady is a tiny, lovely cocktail that seems almost too dainty and delicate for this modern world.

The story of the Phoenix has inspired many people (including me ;) to believe in themselves and to find strength within themselves especially when going through a difficult period in their lives. So when I saw the beautiful label of this beer, which by the way has excellent taste, I already knew how I would like to take this shot. The rest of the story is absolutely technical - real ash, one light source and a reflector. Two images combined in one.

Fresh raspberries in morning light. I love the white on white and how it makes the red pop.
Shot on Canon R: 50mm F1.8 STM ISO100 f/1.8 1/40 sec

Vous sentez l’odeur du pain qui sort du four? C’est exactement le ressenti que j’avais envie de mettre en valeur. Un pain délicieux tout chaud.
Une source de lumière pour apporter de la simplicité au produit.

As a coffee lover, I couldn’t not have a picture of my morning brew with ice and an oat milk.
The infusion of both is beautiful and mesmerising.
The photo was made with one single light source.

This image was part of collaboration between two brands capturing the perfect afternoon moment of having a snack with a refreshing drink.

With the help of Kevin Shanmugam, this was taken in a series of photos from one of my first food photography jobs in 2018. This was shot with an 85mm lens at f/2.8.

Shot in natural light, I wanted the feel of freshness and dew on the cherries. The interest here was the gradation of colors on the cherries itself, like a vintage cottage dream.

Cucumber salad with black olives, red onion and chickpeas, served with 2 kinds of dressing (lemon vinaigrette and avocado). Image created with natural light.
