This shot was taken at the Sky Lounge at the top of the Mint Hotel in Leeds, Yorkshire. I set up the shot after spying this beautiful bouquet of mint. I just needed the rum and brown sugar – but not sure if I would then have been able to focus my camera.
I love shooting food mainly because I get to eat the leftovers. These olive rolls were deliciously warm, straight from the oven and I ate mine with an unhealthy spreading of salty butter. I wanted them to look rustic and freshly bought from market and I think the rough hessian cloth added texture.
I wonder how many disappointed hits I’ll get with this blog title? Today I made a series of some beautiful pretty lingerie in a blush, pink and cream tonal range. And my much beloved french rattan and mahogany bed also made it into a few of the shots. The sunlight was in and out but added a beautiful soft, warm light to the delicate fabrics. Very Parisian I hope.
