A classic focaccia with kalamata olives and cherry A classic focaccia with kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkled with rosemary and flaky sea salt, couldn't get any better!
The twist here is that it's completely gluten free! Shot and made for @wellandgoodfoods.
Wish I still had some to have for breakfast this morning!

Exhausted but very happy with how this recent video for @meltiquebeefaustralia1984 turned out ☺️
.
These kinds of videos are always such marathons. This one took me 5 days... Not complaining, just explaining, because often people are surprised that a 30sec food video can take this long to produce. When you do everything by yourself, you have to wear and constantly switch between a lot of hats: story writing, shot and transition planning, cooking, hand modelling, lighting, filming, music selection, editing and color grading (and hours of clean up in between!)
.
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to do this in a team, where I'd only be responsible for one role. Would I feel like I'm not in control anymore, or would it be nice to produce something together with other creatives? And which hat would I like to wear? Probably the editor's hat. I feel like that's where a lot of the magic happens. And I would happily give up the hand modelling... gee my hands can look old sometimes! 😉
.
If you produce videos like this on your own, what's your favourite and least favourite role?

They say sandwiches are hard to photograph... and They say sandwiches are hard to photograph... and they are right! But I had a lot of fun creating these images for @wellandgoodfoods with their gluten free Chia and Buckwheat loaf bread mix. And how lucky are us food photographers that after the shoot, we get to eat the subject?! 😆

Today was the first day it felt like spring is aro Today was the first day it felt like spring is around the corner. And that means summer isn't too far either! Almost time for this refreshing raspberry granita. Made with fresh raspberries as well as Raspberry Vinegar Cordial from @laststbrewery. Yum!
Always hard to photograph because it melts so quickly, so you definitely need a stand in to set everything up before swapping it out with the real deal...
.
Have a lovely sunny weekend everyone!

So happy with my newest toy: the CineFlare CF5 Fog So happy with my newest toy: the CineFlare CF5 Fog Machine by @colborlight! No more steam overlays in post, or getting frustrated trying to capture actual steam from a hot drink.
Looking forward to playing with it more to see what else I can use it for!

Recent work for @laststbrewery, with the new label Recent work for @laststbrewery, with the new labels for their liqueur range. Had a lot of fun shooting these, trying to make each flavour jump out of the photo, so that the viewer can almost taste it. And creating the right vibe for each flavour with props and colours.

What do you think? Want a drink yet? 😉
