Taking wine bottle photos out of the studio allows for unique and captivating shots that capture the vineyard's essence. Compositing them into scenes adds to the story, creating a visual narrative that immerses the viewer. The crispness of the bottle's label, the play of light and shadow, and the vibrancy of the colors make each photo come alive. It's a delicate balance of art and science, capturing the essence of the wine and the place it comes from. A beautiful photo can make the difference between a casual shopper and a lifelong customer. So, every detail counts, from the angle of the shot to the props used to complement the bottle. The end result is a stunning image that evokes the emotion and connection we have with wine. #wine #beverage #compositing #photography #photomanipulation #mj #ai #generatiiveai

Oh, editing! Not my favorite part, but so crucial! My images usually come out pretty good straight from the camera, but that final touch-up is like adding seasoning to a dish. From now on I'm going to call it "photo seasoning", just to mess things up a little! 🤣 😄 📸 . . . . . . . . #restaurantphotography #atmosphere #hospitality #horeca #dish #cheers #foodphotography101 #photographycomposition #newyorkfood #newyorkfoodie #beautifulfood #foodstylingandphotography #gorgeousfood #foodphotography #culinarycreations #foodie #foodlover #foodgasm #foodstagram #balancematters #blurredbackground #restaurantbranding #culinaryimagery #professionalphotographer #visualstorytelling #brandnarrative #elevateyourvision #vibrantcolor #ilovefood #foodinspo

WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH 6% of a Pizza? What if that 6% was the best bit of the whole pizza? I would! 😲 Why is that Steve? (It’s my story so you are saying that ok!) The answer is in this image I took last week at Talisker Bay in Skye. In this image there are over 43 million pixels. And I think those 43 million pixels did a good job of hanging out together, would you agree? But there’s only 6% of them that are really doing all the heavy lifting in this shot and that 6% is where you’ll find me. Because when I took this shot it wasn’t enough to just capture a beautiful scene. I want my images to make you wonder and want to know more. To maybe ask questions. And so I waited for that couple (the 6%) to walk into frame. And suddenly there’s scale and there’s a story. Without the inclusion of these two people, it’s still a beautiful view but it lacks something. That’s what I bring to the table. Or the beach. Having the vision and imagination to recognise where an image needs that extra layer of interest, of story, and not just snap a beautiful view and move on. It’s a moment. It’s a vibe. Sometimes you have to wait for it. Sometimes you have to work for it. But before that you have to imagine it. Investing in good photography is an investment in your brand, which encourages engagement and improves the visibility of your business.

Oh, the classic cheese pull! I'm sure you've seen one or two around the internet, right? 🤣 But do you know how to make it really stand out? . 1) Make sure the background is darker than the cheese you're pulling. And if you blur the background, it creates even more separation between the cheese and the background, making the image really pop. . 2) And don't forget about the lighting - the light needs to be positioned behind the subject and a little to the side. .
