Introduction / Context
Delicious Diamonds is a premium chocolate brand that partners with high-end kitchenware companies like SMEG to deliver refined gastronomic experiences. I’ve worked with the brand across multiple showcooking events and studio sessions, capturing everything from plated dishes to behind-the-scenes moments with chefs and guests.
The goal is always the same: create elegant, mouth-watering images that reflect the brand’s personality — refined, modern, and full of flavour.
Challenges / Objectives
. Capture the beauty and detail of plated dishes in fast-paced, real-time environments.
. Balance ambient lighting with controlled light setups for a clean, high-end aesthetic.
. Work discreetly during live events without disrupting the experience.
. Deliver versatile imagery suitable for social media, marketing campaigns, websites, and internal use.
