our hobby, our job.

for all of you who don't know it yet,- we love photography. we really do. every little bit of it.

what makes this hobby even more fantastic is ... when you actually get paid for what you love to do. to be more precise: esther's greatest passion is cooking (and photography). my greatest passion is photography (and collecting the crocheted hats on innocent smoothies. -but that's a whole nother chapture).  however, we've been able to combine both of our talents and eventually got to work for a publishing company in vienna that produces nutrition books. we've been collaborating with them for almost a year now and the results have so far been satisfying. what do you think?

and that's how we do it:
we mostly do our photoshoots on weekends, (esther's pre-cooking the food in her house on saturday and sunday, I photograph the different courses on sunday and later retouch them with photoshop, of course.

there was one time when we had to do a totally spontaneous and quick photoshooting of a mint-mango dressing, so we improvised a little bit..

since we mostly do our food-photography in esther's house on the countryside, we had no other choice than to shoot it in her apartment in vienna. on her makeup stand to be exact.

and this was the ultimate end-result:
 

 not too shabby, right? :)
