One of the simplest ways to enjoy the best tastes and textures of figs is to eat them fresh on a sourdough bread toast, with a bit of a cream cheese or creamy goat cheese (of you like it) a drizzle of honey and a few rosemary leaves.

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.

This is my interpretation of a ‘fast food’. Iberico ham and truffle camembert sandwich. I have played with different background colors to create special mood for each sandwich.

The power of old wood, textures and colors… I have dragged this beautiful, vintage door to my kitchen to use it as the backdrop and then using color calculator chose matching colors and composed a dish accordingly.

Finally the edible flower season starts and I can find beautiful blossoms in my garden whenever I need to decorate something. The dusty rose pansies on my cake look like small butterflies.

Marble beef cube(s). Sometimes I like to deconstruct the products and take them out of ordinary context. The small marble beef cubes reminded me of Rubik’s cube, so I’ve made one.

I am so so happy to find these gorgeous naturally colorful (not dyed) eggs at a local farmer. I have an endless list of recipes of things I want to make from them in mind. But today just enjoying the beauty of the egg itself.

Healthy and delicious sweet potato chips with garlic and chili powder. In this picture I wanted to emphasize the color and the texture of baked potato chips and contrasting blue background played the role perfectly.

I have took this picture exactly one year ago, on 28th of Feb, but back then I didn’t know, I couldn’t even imagine that blue and yellow will become colors of true heroism, bravery, true leadership and unity. We are forever grateful for you defending our freedom. Stay strong Ukraine.

A beautiful, delicious and healthy breakfast toasts.
I like to choose a healthier version of almond (or hazelnut) butter instead of peanuts and all the fruit or berry I have at hand. Green apples and kiwi this time.

Double chocolate chip cookies with milk. Lots of childhood memories and sentiment and a milk splash organically integrated into the scene.

A super healthy lunch sandwich loaded with veggies and greens. The idea behind this picture was kind reminder to follow ones New Year’s resolution to eat more vegetables and greens.

Beautiful and delicious broccoli soup styled with cream, edible flowers and pine nuts goes along so well with these magical green plates.

Pear hazelnut frangipane tart with chocolate shavings. This scene was not artificially styled for a shot. But when I’ve finished this tart with chocolate shavings and sugar powder dust and cut a few pieces my gaze got locked in all the beautiful details and then…. everyone had to wait until a made a shot before eating.
