Ninety-Third Collection

I found an old window in its frame at the recycling center and a friend gave me some olive branches from her olive tree which both were used to create this scene. I angled my Godox AD300 through a scrim to emulate winter window light and to illuminate this delicious Spiced Carrot and Walnut Bundt Cake.

Freezing the moment in which an action occurs is always highly attractive to the human eye, transforming liquids into glass, appreciating in detail what is not possible with the naked eye, manages to activate taste memory in the viewer, increasing the appetite appeal.

After shooting the menu for a local restaurant, I noticed how they had this one table that became bathed in some beautiful afternoon sunlight. I asked the restaurant manager to sit down at the table and we had a server bring one of the menu items out for this impromptu shot.

This photo of an eclair for the Galamyder restaurant makes me happy. Because in Ukrainian this word means absence or disorder; mess. Therefore, there is a bit of chaos and colors

This scene pictures a guilty pleasure as a human element in blur passes by and grabs one of the mini cakes that are in focus. Photographed in natural light with Canon 6D mark II and 50 mm lens.

Featuring local ducks that are born & bred in Penang.

Which age in-house between 5-7 days for a much-concentrated flavor of the duck breast. Before serving, it will then be pre-seared to give that crispiness to the Duck skin. It is paired with lemongrass and tamarind paste for a sweet and sour flavor.

On the side, a sausage made from the trimmings of the duck and wrapped with betel leaf to give it a little more aromatics.

You can call them meatballs but really they are Albóndigas.
My mom would make albóndigas at least once a month, as this was also a family favorite. It was usually a meal we would eat for lunch during the week. I remember coming back from school, going inside our house and already knowing what was for lunch since the aroma was so delicious!

This is my Mille Feuille with Ruff Puff Pastry, topped with Pickled Strawberries in balsamic vinegar, infused with rosemary and vanilla. The layers contain piped sweetened Ricotta. The flavours were so amazing, they just balanced themselves perfectly.

Breaking down a recipe and using the elements as part of the art directly impacts the viewer, managing to understand the work in seconds, levitating these ingredients that are entering the can causing a splash, leaving the understanding that together these ingredients create the iconic Campbells soup.

I was photographing a couple dozen menu items for a new local restaurant and we had been putting the completed dishes on an adjacent table to my shooting table. I had a little downtime while the kitchen was prepping the next round of dishes, so I decided to move a few things around to give the table and dishes a little personality. Several shots like this were a surprise for the client who absolutely loved them.

My favorite subject of photography is balancing and combining unusual things
