Just a few of the refreshing treats you can find at Lemongrass Thai Restaurant located in Dubai, UAE. One light set up, slave flash with a 50mm nikon lens.

The tricky part in accomplishing this shot rest largely in setting up the drink with the complementing fruits. Which i have to say really ate up alot of the time like blending the fruit juice to the right consistency and texture , choosing the best looking fruits and slices, experimenting on a variety of positions and moving them in the best location inside the restaurant to get enough natural light to also give that highlight from the garnish and the background.

I think i spend several rounds of test shots until this one came out. this image will be coming out in several marketing collaterals as well as in the new menu book.

thanks for the comments.

Great success with this shot I would say Jaime. The restaurant could use this as a promotional shot. Nice focus at the front of the shot .. great detail and texture in the pineapple, and in the glass.
Very eye-catching.

Zelo okusna fotografija - v vsakem pomenu besede. Barvita in dovrsena kompozicija, ki jo zaokrozuje in izpopolnjuje odlicen 'crop'.
