No caffeine fix needed for these 2 days. The open bags of top shelf coffee kept me going all day. I really enjoyed shooting in this minimalist, playful style. Slow Grind is a coffee distributor for independent coffee roasters, helping them connect with their end user.It really is a pleasure to shoot products that look…
The restaurant hustle
Having worked within many facets of the restaurant industry, I get it! The restaurant biz is a tough gig – it’s ridiculously competitive. Besides having consistently fantastic fare, the service needs to impress and interiors and branding need to be on par with your offering. You’ve got this part down – so how do you…
Shoot: Craig’s Royal Hotel
I was approached to shoot the beautiful new winter menu at Craig’s Royal Hotel in Ballarat this month. This place has been in operation for 140 years – no wonder it’s an institution! The food is not only absolutely insta-worthy but also really innovative with each dish being prepared with such care and the plating…

They also have a Liquorice, Turkish delight and Blue…
Shoot: The Local Café

Shoot: Kilderkin Sunburnt Country Gin
It’s not everyday you get to shoot a brand that you really admire, so I was thrilled to shoot the new Larrikin Sunburnt Country addition to the Larrikin gin family. The team at Kilderkin approached me to create cocktails as well as shoot them which was great fun as I got to work with friend…
