Place in Albania

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.
A cup of excellent organic tea created in the botanical garden. I was looking for a fresh and blossom mood for this representation.
Hopeless, romantic happy hour. The long shadows recall the evening and the cherries, together with the pink background, speak only of love.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This work was created to represent black product on black background (with ingredient artificial lighting). And of course Schweppes was just ideal for that purpose.
Sparkling wine, fireworks and falling "meteorites". For this photo I chose to create a dark mood with illuminating elements to best represent this Italian sparkling wine.
