Intimate, rustic and very moody atmosphere is sometimes the best representation of a private celebration. Warm colours, homemade chocolate cake, fresh roses just picked from the garden and the smoke of the candle that draws figures in the half-light are more than enough to celebrate and fully savor the taste of being alive. The technical part - one source of artificial light and a reflector.

Modern minimal style and shot in low key for stand up the beauty of this octopus tentacles.

Iced latte coffee as the star for this shoot. An excellent refresher, especially with quality espresso coffee and vegetable milk. The choice of monochromatic, but warm colors brings out the abstract shapes created by the drink itself and increases the mood percepiscion. Studio shot with several artificial lights.

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.

This is one of the first photos I created when I was studying glass photography, and I still find it very fascinating for the chosen colors, the studied composition and for all the atmosphere it brings.

Food for Christmas, food that has always had the power to unite and nourish us, food that reveals us, through the pleasure of sharing it with loved ones, food that has a history and a symbolic meaning linked to local traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation. Food as a gift...

Minimal look with illuminated shapes. This work was focused on simplifying and removing the excess to find and represent the essence.

Looking for a rustic, yet simple presentation of these tomato-based Barilla products. The abundance of the harvest bathed in "sunlight" contributed to this genuine and fresh look. Technically I used several studio lights and some reflectors. The use of complementary colors make the product stand out.

Studio shot and flat lay view for this image, in order to give more accent to the long shadows so typical for the "happy" hour aperitif. Again, using of analog colors with little contrast by the complementary yellow lemon.

I chose to use the dispersion effect using Photoshop, to give a sense of movement to a static product image. Analog colors, two studio lights and merged images in post production, for creating this look.

Started with the idea of representing this bottle of olive oil closest to its natural environment, but had no possibility to take this image outdoor with real olive trees...so, I just recreated the scene in the studio, using artificial lights, natural stone and a beautifull handmade piece of vintage cloth.

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.

Hopeless, romantic happy hour. The long shadows recall the evening and the cherries, together with the pink background, speak only of love.

A cup of excellent organic tea created in the botanical garden. I was looking for a fresh and blossom mood for this representation.

Brightness, warm colors and the dedicated surprise message on each Lipton tea bag were my starting point for creating this image. Then the work with glass objects - as refined (and delicate) as it can be - and the use of studio lights with colored gels completed the desired atmosphere.

Well, every pocket has its own secret. And sometimes the secret goes up :))) Now seriously and technically: simple minimal flat lay, made with the use of artificial light and complementary colors to create the desired effect.

The fruit on the branch. Working with glass again, conceptual minimal style and natural colors. The idea of showing the fruits that come from an olive branch regrown from a previously cut tree.

Lights, shadows, mood and all this lovely mix about playing with them. I think that every photographer loves the long shadows part of the day, nowadays easily recreated in studio.

I love to represent products in the natural environment. The connection with nature is immediately felt when quality products are consumed. Now, technically, I have chosen for this image the use of analog colors to create a harmonious, natural, yet rich look and the use of artificial studio light.
