Gin and Tonic​​​​​​​​ ​​​​ Gin and Tonic​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Sometimes we just need to keep things simple.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Like this this image, nothing complicated, no faff, it's a simple gin and tonic, styled simply in green. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I've used a single colour palette picking out shades of green from the lime, the stirrer and the green bottle. It's simple and elegant, clean and fresh.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I've used artificial light (in this case flash) to play with the light and shadows. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The ice refracts the light creating the star burst, and the green bottle casts that beautiful shadow in the background. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Let me know what you think in the comment below.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Another submission for @twolovesstudio Colour Challenge #GetColorfulChallenge with Costas @madebymrmillas and @backdrop.woodville​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Gin and tonic, styled and photographed by me​​​​​​​​ Backdrop @cblbackdrops​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #londonfoodphotographer #beveragephptographer #restaurantphorographer #cocktailphotographer #artdirector #commercialphotographer #artdirection #londoncreative #negroni #sonyalphafemale #drinksphotographer #beveragephotographer
Bloody Mary​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ A glorious cocktail. Resplendent in red.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ So when styling this scene, red, had to be the main theme.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The garnish, the celery, which just happens to be red's complementary partner. Just a simple flash of green is all that is needed. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I've used a used a strobe light, no diffuser, for that hash light. The exaggerated shadows adds the scene creating that image a sultry evening feel. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Another submission for @twolovesstudio Colour Challenge #GetColorfulChallenge with Costas @madebymrmillas and @backdrop.woodville​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #pinkladysnapssept22 @pinkladyappleuk @foodphotoaward @davidloftus ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #myediblecaptures @andreakoever @wiktoriagralka @thehrdwood​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #londonfoodphotographer #beveragephptographer #restaurantphorographer #cocktailphotographer #artdirector #commercialphotographer #artdirection #londoncreative #negroni #sonyalphafemale #drinksphotographer #beveragephotographer
I've been following the @twolovesstudio Colour Cha I've been following the @twolovesstudio Colour Challenge #GetColorfulChallenge it's been a great refresher on colour theory.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Rachel has teamed up with Costas @madebymrmillas and @backdrop.woodville as the sponsor of this challenge​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Here's the setup:​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The flat lay it's a great photography set-up to show off this breakfast scene. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Couple this with colour theory. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The analogous colours of reds and browns of the fruit and cereal are set off by the complementary green of the saucer.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I've styled a hearty bowl of homemade granola with thick glorious Greek yoghurt and a scattering of fresh fruit of your choice.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Let me know what you think!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #pinkladysnapssept22 @pinkladyappleuk @foodphotoaward @davidloftus ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #myediblecaptures @andreakoever @wiktoriagralka @thehrdwood​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Granola: made by me​​​​​​​​ Styling: moi​​​​​​​​ Photography: moi​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #londonfoodphotographer, # #foodart #foodphotography #londonfoodphotographer #breakfastscenes #foodphotographerlondon #foodphotographytips #foodphotographyandstyling
A Negroni is an Italian cocktail, made of one part A Negroni is an Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It is considered an aperitivo. A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, not shaken; it is built over ice in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ OK, mine has a slice of lime, for purists this sure ain’t a negroni, but I has having way too much fun styling and shooting cocktails. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ So cin cin , bottoms up, cheers happy #negroniweek ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Let me know what you think! ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #londonfoodphotographer #beveragephptographer #restaurantphorographer #cocktailphotographer #artdirector #commercialphotographer #artdirection #londoncreative #negroni #sonyalphafemale #inclusivehospitality #srilankanfoodphotographer

The French House on Dean Street London, probably the friendliest pub in London, walk in and make friends 2. Ronnie Scotts, famous jazz club, simply fabulous, rocking some incredible tunes by incredible musicians 3. Then, Bar Italia, absolutely love this place, incredible espresso bar, open 24 hours, best espresso London. #londonlove #londonbylondoners #londonlifestyle #londongram #londonjazz #sohonightlife Shot on an iPhone, edited in @Lightroom Reel cut my me using @capcut
