This photography was made for Salumeria Romani - a small charcuterie producer in Brazil.
This table was in an old barn, in which basement the cured meats are made!
The only source of light was the natural light coming from the barn's door, and the hands are from the company owners and their friends.

This photography was made for a restaurant called Romeo Cucina. The name is an homage to both Shakespeare's character and the city of Rome. So I tried to evoke the warmth of Italy with this light, emulating the sun. I wanted the photo to look like a happy weekday lunch at the restaurant.

A barbecue photo shoot is hard for many reasons:
1) You can't really control the flames;
2) You have to balance the flash light and the fire light;
3) It's not easy to set the flashes and camera around the barbecue pit;
4) The equipment gets smoked;
5) The photographer gets smoked.
But it's worth all the trouble.

This photo was made for a famous brand of hazelnut cream.
It has three light sources, and it was challenging to control the shadows and reflections, specially considering that there were three people around the scene.
The delicacies in the basket are a traditional brazilian food, called cheese bread.

This photograph was taken in a restaurant that serves molecular food.
Right when the chef was going to add some molecular sauce on his molecular taco.

My city, Curitiba, in southern Brazil, has a strong Italian influence. On Sundays, families traditionally go to Italian restaurants to have a meal like this one. Huge lines are formed in front of the restaurants to feast on these delicious dishes!
This photo was taken for Carlo Ristorante.
