Dark chocolate and nuts, sprinkled with rose petals. I decided to use a white background for this picture, not my usual black.
I also did not use any artificial lighting, just window light and a reflector.

Steak tartare, served with some simple greens on the side. This is one of my favourite dishes using only the freshest ingredients considering it is raw.

Olive oil and mozzarella cheese, this is a beautiful combination. Add some basil leaves to add additional flavour - and colour to the picture - and you have a perfect quick lunch.

Winter truffles have this beautiful black and white marbling. I have chosen the geometric background as a contrast and to guide the viewers eye towards the main subject, the truffle, but without adding too much additional colour noise.

Fresh green salad, red tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil and the impression of some early spring sunshine. With this
picture I just wanted to show that healthy food can be simple but doesn’t have to be boring.

A bowl of cooked mussels on a simple black set up, which I believe enhances the beautiful almost golden colour of the mussels without adding additional distractions.

This is a traditional Glencairn whiskey glass. I wanted to portray it in a way that gives the viewer an impression of the Scottish landscape with moss, rocks and some mystic light.

At least once a year in fall I have to make a pumpkin soup which marks the official end of summer for me. This picture took a bit of preparation as I had to get it right at the first few shots as otherwise, the dish would have been pumpkin seeds with soup rather than a creamy soup with a few bites.

Trout caviar, backlit, on a bed of rocks. A rather unusual way of serving food but I think it just works, considering trouts live in rocky, cold and fast flowing rivers.

Orange vanilla martini: 2 1/2 oz vodka, 1/2 oz Grand Manier, a dash of vanilla extract and some orange zest. Strong but beautiful.
