Historical account of a picture. In the last century, Absinthe was considered the liqueur of the damned poets, addicted to drugs and the intoxication of a psychotic ingredient contained in the Artemisia distillate. He called himself the "green fairy" because he was believed to cause hallucinations and for this he was banned from the trade. It was preferably consumed after 5 in the afternoon, until 7, in what began to be called "the green hour". To drink it, it was mixed with water and served by pouring it on a sugar cube placed on a perforated teaspoon placed on the mouth of the glass, then burning the cube. It is said that Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" was painted under the effect of absinthe and Oscar Wilde said "" After the first glass, you see things as you wish. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world. "

Fine food with escargot and a perfect bottle of chardonnay. Shooting for a top level restaurant in Zurich. And a romantic atmosphere need candles lights!

This is a pictures made for #laschitadelloltrepopavese, an Italian group who love a typical food recipe of Oltrepó area : "la schita" is made only with flour, water and salt, cooked with a little bit of oil and served with gorgonzola cheese or typical "pancetta" (very thin slices of bacon). In Oltrepó area
every grandma swears to know the original recipe... But in any case every schita is tasty!

I wanted to take a photo with the right reflections on the glass and give elegance and refinement to the bottle like my client's Brut is!

it wasn't easy open the beer bottle with the right foam (I put it in freezer) but...you know, I had to open many bottles and drink only a few :-)

...Are these strawberries coming out or are they going into the pot? :-)
Taking this pic with real drops of water blown from under the table was the hardest thing !

This is my set-up of " calm and take a break": the warm colors of lemons, tea and honey contrast with the cold color of the glass and black stone. And the flowers give a very romantic touch of calm and serenity.

I tried different lighting techniques for this photo. In the end I have to thank my husband for the perfect circular line of light painting!

Do you see the skull in the shadows? Isn't photoshop at all but only natural shadows of octopus and fork! sometimes simple and basic photos surprise...

I made my picture about an "easy, daily gesture". I love the simplicity and neutral colors: it is only a cup of tea but it wasn't an easy picture at all.

My goal is to make you feel thirsty and what is better than a cold beer after a day of hard work? Beer and bezel are the answer!
