Cocktail Editorial Shoot

The Brief

Client: Private Bar Commission
Year: 2025
Role: Photographer & Retoucher

Capturing cocktails meant balancing glossy surfaces, warm glass reflections, and a tactile sense of depth.

The shoot was framed to feel premium and editorial while keeping the drinks appetizing and intimate.

We wanted the drinks to feel staged without ever looking stiff. Every frame had to feel like it was caught in the middle of a late-night ritual.
