I love tweaking my cocktail photography. Typically, my style is high impact, high contrast. Which I achieve through strategic lighting.
I decided to challenge myself with a clear liquid, for the gin martinis, rather than relying on colour, to ensure I focused on light.
The goal was to photograph drinks in a beautiful, bold and interesting lighting. The challenge for me here was to have low contrast and soft light, but still, have that powerful light I'm drawn to.
I like to elevate my cocktail photos by using my secret weapon...garnishes! They are a simple way to add interest.
I like using garnishes that you don’t see very often, like pink pickled onions. They can elevate your cocktail photos.
Fun Fact: Did you know that a martini with a pickled onion garnish is called a Gibson?
