This is one of the shots I’m most proud of. I liked the roundness of the bottle and the gold cap, and I had been wanting to use these reflective gold coasters I found.

There's something inherently beautiful about a cluster of peanuts still nestled in their shells. The sight of them evokes memories of childhood snacking, cozy nights spent around the fireplace, and the satisfying feeling of cracking open each shell to reveal the delicious, salty nuts inside. And when you find one shell that's been opened just right, allowing the light to filter through and highlight the intricacies of the peanuts, it's hard not to be in awe of the natural beauty of these humble snacks.

On very rare occasions...
Our family consciously chose to consume meat only once a week, and beef only on very rare occasions. Today is the day...

Pomegranate and gin mocktail. I wanted to show that non-alcoholic drinks can look as cool as the ‘real’ ones; and you barely taste the difference.
This was also a little experiment with colour rules, monochromatic and complementary in one shot.

Vegetarian dish from the new menu of famous flavours. Presented on a small bbq.

One for all the cheese lovers… a product photoshoot of the ‘Perfect for Cheese’ range by Galloway Lodge, Scotland.
This photograph was part of a series of images of 5 products. I wanted the mood of the lighting, together with carefully chosen props to feel like a rustic farm-shop.

Cupcakes with vibrant pink frosting call for Spring, and are even more relatable by the human touch.

A super quick shot using one speedlight. I thought the colours of the packaging went perfectly with the colours of my double sided backdrop. Plus, it felt festive without having to use additional props.

Prawns Har Gow. Shot using Canon 5D Mark IV and a Canon 100mm Macro lens. Two constant lights (Godox SL 60W) used from 11 O' Clock and 5 O' Clock positions using 120 cm diameter parabolic diffusers (Godox QR P120).

Client work, for Peet's Coffee. Creating images using their new packaging design.

A vintage style for this pictures of Pampero. It was a pleasure that Pampero want to use this picture for his promotion on web!

In this photo, I wanted to capture the light and ambiance of a late night cocktail at a restaurant bar.

I wanted to do a still life of these tropical fruits in an old masters style and used multiple exposures composited together to get a painterly feel.

Pears with blue cheese and maple syrup.
This is such a simple appetizer, but incredibly aromatic, very elegant and impressive. It have a great balance of sweet, spicy, salty and fruity flavors.

This is work with different textures - the softness of the chocolate surface and the texture of the background ask for particular light for each ingredient. Yet, I chose to add geometric shadows to give depth and more visual interest. It's really delightful and creative to work with chocolate.

I love to play with the natural light. It is always such an adventure. In this photography, I wanted to create dramatic atmosphere by playing with highlights and shadows. Highlights drawn our eyes for the cookie but it’s the shadows that add depth to this frame.

I'm working on a shooting a variety of cakes for a manufacturer of gourmet cakes. I wanted a dark and moody shot for this chocolate cake so I choose a dark green background with the complimentary red raspberries for the topping. Shot on a Nikon z7ii with a 70-120mm lens and Profoto lighting.

One of the advantages of living in the heart of Gippsland is you’re immersed in a community of fantastic food producers, restauranteurs and innovators. This shot is from a luncheon at the iconic Tinamba hotel and celebrates a collaboration between artisan local honey makers and Gippsland fruit and vegetable growers. Thank you to the Tinamba team for the opportunity to capture this event. As always I am thrilled and humbled to be included in the Foodelia community.

Excellence Gourmetfestival: A river cruise from Basel to Strasbourg and a gala dinner with 2star Michelin chef Mitja Birlo. This is the 1st course: Ceviche with caviar. Excellent work.

This sushi was Food Styled by Elizabeth Normoyle. This photo was taken using soft light which was blocked off at the top and bottom of the frame to achieve a natural vignetting effect.

Dumplings with potato and cheese, served with roasted sesame seeds. Captured with natural light.

I take this picture of a crystal glass for a company who sells the most beautiful wine and whiskeyglasses.
I shot this wineglas with a purple drink because the glas is also used for cocktails. I styled the flowers and with just a little splash there is some movement in the picture.

In the Netherlands, the royal family is called "the Oranges".

Because I live in a street named after a prince, I thought it would be fun to make an "orange" photo series of food.

This tangerine is part of that
