Juicy Satsuma Photo Series

I love the satsuma season and when our place smells all things citrus!

The first series I shot on Satsumas. I love these photos. Especially the portrait of the fruit bursting open like a flower.⁠ POW!

So during satsumas season, I bought more fresh satsumas. My thought..to do another shoot. But I didn't like the new images. I felt they weren't as good as the original ones. 

I wondered if I should mess with a good thing?⁠ To play with it, to better it, or just to enjoy?⁠ 

I decided, in the end, not to redo my Satsuma portrait. I love the original and the meaning it holds for me. 

While I could create a more technically perfect shot now, when I look at it I see the artist I was at that point. 

@kmurrayphoto gave me food for thought when she said to “create something related that could play alongside this star” image. 

So here’s just that. A mix of me as an artist spanning three years… Hope you love these gorgeous orange colours as much as I do.

Black and White Food Photography Series

Black and white are two words that don’t seemingly go together in food photography.

While I just adore black and white photography, I’m sure we’ve all experienced just how ‘wrong’ images of food can look in a black and white medium.

This simple medium has such powerful storytelling and really allows you to focus on the emotion of the overall image.

So I wanted to challenge myself by shooting a series that was black and white to give the appearance of food being as true to 'black and white' as real food allows. 

I focused on bringing out the texture in the food and used light to enhance those textures.
