My contribution to Michael Somoroff’s ambitious project that would explore the past, present and future of tabletop photography while simultaneously seeking to give us a taste of the world through visual imagery. I created the liquid through several stages, starting with a base mesh created in RealFlow that was then sculpted in Zbrush to add realism and detail, and rendered in Vray. Some compositing in Nuke and Photoshop was required before passing the render off to be combined with photographic elements into a final image.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 13 COCKTAILS
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH A FOOD AND DRINK PHOTOGRAPHY MASTER

Design work for clients over the years

My experience photographing for an art & antiques gallery brought me in direct daily contact with rich works of art and expert craftsmanship. Highlights include a Paul Manship sculpture, a Monet, gilded 19th century furniture, antique rugs and tapestries, a Warhol, a Camoin, a Picasso ceramic and an astounding collection of Native American woven baskets and rugs.
