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!

Oh, and the zest shot on the left? That's 100% real, captured with backlighting ☺️

Also super happy with my new backdrop 'Parquet' by @clubbackdrops. Love love love! 🤎

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.
