These appetizers with avocado, cottage cheese, nuts, seeds and a variety of sprouts are all about textures, freshness and upcoming spring. It's an example how a simple yet good combination of fresh ingredients can create a mouthwatering experience.

It was a pleasure to shoot these beautifully shaped kibins in a collaboration with a client. Kibins are traditional pastries, popular with Karaite ethnic minority in Lithuania. They can be filled with different salty fillings of which the most traditional is lamb. I framed them in a wooden tray to show off their beautiful form even more.

I took this photo in the middle of a cold winter, when I was missing sun, fresh fruit and colors of summer. I wanted the scene to look busy but also balanced so I left some negative space.
