Happy Friday! ☺️
My first article for Nikon Magazine is now live ✨Link to the full article below ⬇️

A while ago, I was invited by Nikon Magazine to test the NIKKOR Z DX 35mm f/1.7 macro lens together with the Nikon Z50II camera. The brief was simple - create something fresh, airy, and spring/summer inspired. I went with waffles because they have such a beautiful texture and look great from every angle, aren’t they? 😉
Shot entirely in natural light - from strong, hard shadows to soft, diffused setups.
I absolutely loved the results. Nikon never disappoints me, and this time was no different.
In the full article I’m sharing a more detailed review of the gear, along with some food photography tips & tricks.
I also wrote a short blog post about my photography journey with Nikon and shared a few more BTS moments from this latest project. You can find both links below and in my bio 🤍
Happy reading :)

A couple of weeks ago, I spent a day doing a product photography session for , right inside their studio 🍫
It was really lovely meeting the founder and seeing their gorgeous range of pralines and chocolates up close. Everything is just beautiful — from the colourful packaging to the pralines themselves.
You can really feel how much care and attention goes into every single detail.
We captured everything from creative setups to clean, simple packshots.
If you don’t know Chococo yet, I genuinely recommend checking them out — you won’t regret it 😉

What are your plans for the long weekend? I was ready to enjoy the sunshine, but the weather clearly had other plans — looks like a rainy weekend ahead.
Still, delicious light food and a glass of white wine are definitely happening 😉

Hi friends !
After a little break from posting and being on social media, it’s not that easy to come back 🫣 But I really needed that time. There’s been a lot on my mind lately, and stepping away from my phone helped me slow down and breathe.
But I’m back ☺️
In the photo - one of the wines I had the pleasure of shooting for my client . Light, fresh, and perfect for a beautiful summer ahead 🍇

Wishing you all a lovely weekend ✨
