Chocolate Macarons with dark chocolate ganache lit with a large softbox from the side with a reflector just in the corner. I love how linen and cocoa creates a gorgeous texture with the right lighting. Whilst not perfect these Macarons definately tasted perfect!

This Blood Orange Bundt Cake was delicious! I wanted to highlight the lovely pattern created by the tin. Icing sugar is a great way to create texture and freezing the granules took quite a few goes! A high shutter speed helps.

Coconut Matcha Panna Cotta with a little maple syrup for sweetness and a side of blueberries. Using the Golden Spiral to arrange the plates and utensils leads the viewer around the image. The texture of the Matcha powder is highlighted by a low side light.

I created this Drinks Splash image with a Godox AD300 from behind and slightly off to the side. I used Altina Drinks non alcoholic white wine and ice cubes containing rose petals as the subject and by using continuous shooting mode I had a few options to choose from.

This image was taken during Fig season, I love the shape and texture of Figs, and wanted to highlight this delicious Fig and Pistachio Cake. Using layers of wood, linen and textured background with a branch of foliage leaning into the frame adding interest.

This is a delicious Blue Matcha Chia Pudding milled from Butterfly Pea Flowers and topped with a chocolate mousse and blueberries. Using different textures such as wood, linen creates layers that draw interest.

This is my homemade Blue Matcha Ice Cream. I used dried Butterfly Pea Flowers, removed the stems, milled the flowers and created Blue Matcha powder to use in the recipe. It has a very different taste and there is something satisfying about creating something unique from scratch. I scattered the Butterfly Pea Flowers in the scene and placed the spoon diagonally to draw the viewer to the bowl where the hero food sits. This was shot with a very large aperture and natural light.

Delicious waffles with pomegranate seeds, berries, and maple syrup and a little bit of chocolate on the side the only decision left is whether to serve them with ice cream or yoghurt. The lines in the image leads the viewer around the frame taking in all the details, from the texture of the frozen berries to multiple forks indicating that this image is part of a larger scene, perhaps a table with more people and more waffles!

I love capturing the unusual and when I found this Chocolate Bubble Wrap recipe it was a perfect fit for a delicious chocolate mousse garnished with raspberries. The the pots and plate added texture and a cool colour palette to the image.

This is a delicious Pandan Cake made in a Chiffon Tin with a simple drip glaze and pistachio topping. The use of negative space helps draw the viewer to the visual weight of the cake. The detail of the cake and the fabric base is highlighted by lovely soft natural side light.
