]]> Hello to all food photography lovers and foodies in general. It’s been a while since my last food photography post and some great photos are screaming to get attention.

This time the setting is a bit different. Instead of chasing soft light or hiding behind diffusers, I went straight into the brightest and most unforgiving source of all: the sun. Direct sunlight can be brutal for food, creating hard shadows and highlights that leave no room for mistakes. But if you lean into it and let the contrast tell its own story, something interesting happens. The plates start to look more alive, textures pop, colors gain confidence and every dish suddenly feels a bit more dramatic.

Below is a small collection of moments where I embraced the harsh light and let the sun draw the shapes, lines and shadows on its own terms. This gallery is all about the beauty of straightforward sunlight and how it can transform food into something bold and full of character.

All our food photos here were taken in the restaurants, where we had limitations when taking photos. Nevertheless, that’s not a reason we can’t take mouthwatering food photography. In case you need a food photographer, contact us, and let’s see what can be done. Please, enjoy our Food Photography Vol.9 Gallery.

]]> Hello and welcome back to our blog, where is all about taste, hedonism, and beauty. Today, I am sharing with you a few shots from our backyard, full of colors, smells, and buzzing sounds.

]]> Hello photography lovers, today I will share with you one of the oldest Slovenian rituals – Kurentovanje. This 11-day rite of spring and fertility highlight event is held in Slovenia, Ptuj, and is ongoing since 1960. The main character of Kurentovanje is Kurent, which was first documented in 1880. According to popular belief, Kurents chase away everything bad and bring good luck and happiness. Please enjoy this gallery and see you next time with another theme.

]]> Hello and welcome back, to all food enthusiasts or simply food photography lovers. It’s been a while since our last food photography gallery, so why not continue this thrilling journey. Food photography can be a delicate thing where every detail matters. For catching those details you need a good source of light, and here the studio comes into the play. Some clients like it clean and white, so why not? Is it my favorite food photography technique? Probably not, but the results are quite pleasant. Food shines in all its colors and there is no ambiance to focus on. Just pure food and plating. Enjoy this studio food photography and see you next time with another theme.

]]> Hello photo lovers, it’s been a while since our last photo blog post and it is a time to continue it. Today I will share with you some fast photoshoots we did in Hue, Vietnam. More precisely, in the Imperial City of Hue. Hue was the former imperial capital of Vietnam and Imperial City still shows the glory from the emperor’s golden days. The whole area is surrounded by a huge wall, so you can get the feeling of how important was the safety of the royalty, back in the day. Vivi was dressed in white, which was a great contrast to all the emperor’s red in the Imperial City. I leave it to you if we nailed this photo shot. Enjoy.

]]> Hello and welcome back photography enthusiasts. I know fall has its charm, especially when there are all these intense warm colors, striking straight towards us. However, there are also some other eye candies when it comes to forests. For example, the pine forest is keeping its green color, even in fall and there is nothing wrong with it. This green, mixed with yellow and full of textures makes something special. Not to mention all these small pine cones. Mathematically correct shapes help to perceive it as simply perfect. No more words, please enjoy this pine forest gallery.

]]> Hello, photography lovers and travelers all around the globe. Do you still remember our first sea photography gallery from the last time? If would you like more seascapes and everything that is connected with the sea, here we are. This is our second gallery on this theme and the title is “Salt”. Salt is a major thing that makes the sea what it is. It can be life, death, birth, or destruction at the same time. Luckily, the sea is giving us mostly life and birth. Now I am asking myself, what are we giving back to it? Plastic? Oil? Definitely some destruction. I will miss you sea!

]]> Welcome back travel enthusiasts, photography lovers, and all in between. Today I am sharing with you our view of legendary Venice. We were in Venice a few times but never with the camera. This time we walked there around more freely and check some great spots for our next visit or should I rather say for our month in Venice. I think if you really want to explore Venice, you need more time. This city is quite big and most of the gems are hiding. However, we managed some cool shots from our weekend there, and I hope you will like them. Here is our first Venice photo essay.
