Africa Gothic
A creative food shoot feature with drinks and recipes with elements that reflected my mood perfectly at the time.
Africa Gothic – bondage, metal, Africa, gothic, burn, wood.
Steel textures, bowls and knives by Conrad Hicks. Dragon glass, wing, burnt door from The Bijou, white and black stone both found and given to me. Black and white salt to balance nature and yin and yang.
Photography & shoot with Hein van Tonder, at my Food Art Studio at The Bijou.
Shot for House & Leisure Magazine 2018

Steak with roasted garlic and charcoal salt and thyme butter. Knife and steel texture by Conrad Hicks.
Blackberry and beetroot vampire vodka with wing, white stones and dragon glass. It’s a very romantic tale.
