CASE STUDIES
Machu Picchu was launching as Malta's newest Peruvian fine dining restaurant. With authentic recipes, quality ingredients, and a plant-filled interior, they needed to position themselves as a premium dining destination that celebrates Peru's culinary tradition.
Machu Picchu Restaurant
The Brief
The new restaurant needed strong visual content to establish their brand and compete in Malta's upscale dining market. They required photography and videography for their website and social media that would showcase both their food quality and dining experience.
Creative Solution
We used the restaurant's existing design elements—deep blue and gold tones plus lush greenery—to create their visual identity. Through moody lighting and shadow work, we captured the food presentation and styled dining moments that communicate both authenticity and luxury.
Impact
The launch visuals positioned Machu Picchu as Malta's destination for authentic Peruvian fine dining. The consistent imagery across their digital platforms established their brand presence and supported a successful restaurant opening
Zest had built a solid reputation as Malta's go-to spot for vibrant Asian fusion cuisine. After completing a full interior renovation and earning recognition from the Michelin Guide, they were ready to position themselves as a premium dining destination.
Zest Restaurant
The Brief
The restaurant needed to shed its casual, colorful street-style image and develop a sophisticated visual identity that would appeal to discerning diners. Their existing brand imagery no longer matched the refined atmosphere or the elevated expectations that come with Michelin recognition.
Creative Solution
We crafted a new visual language centered on atmospheric, moody photography that captures the essence of upscale evening dining. Using rich lighting and thoughtful composition, we focused on the complete dining experience—showcasing both culinary artistry and the seamless service that defines fine dining.
Impact
Zest now has a cohesive visual identity that immediately communicates their transformation from casual eatery to sophisticated destination. The new imagery provides them with professional marketing assets that support their elevated positioning and help attract the premium clientele they're targeting.
Villa Corinthia features Chef Francesco Mazzei's Italian cuisine that celebrates tradition with a modern twist. Chef Mazzei, recognized as one of the great Italian chefs with experience in five-star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, Asia, the United States and Middle East, has crafted a tempting menu rooted in rich Italian flavors while elevated by the finest local, seasonal ingredients.
Villa Corinthia
The Brief
Villa Corinthia needed fresh photography that captured their sophisticated yet approachable dining concept. They required cutting-edge visuals that would showcase their "taste of tradition with a modern twist" philosophy while appealing to casual diners seeking elevated experiences.
Creative Solution
We used large diffusers to create a natural-looking, bright aesthetic with natural light effects that enhanced the approachable atmosphere. Instead of traditional fine dining close-ups, we created busier setup compositions that reflected fun and accessibility. We captured serving moments as they're a big part of the dining experience, showcasing the interaction between chef, food, and guest that makes Villa Corinthia special.
Impact
Villa Corinthia now has contemporary visual content that perfectly reflects their positioning as sophisticated yet approachable Italian dining. The fresh photography successfully communicates the quality and creativity of Chef Mazzei's cuisine while inviting casual diners to experience elevated Italian tradition.
Minoa is a newly opened Mediterranean and Libyan-inspired fine dining restaurant with a chef whose dishes blend ancient techniques with modern artistry. The restaurant needed visual identity that matched their unique culinary approach and artistic food presentation.
Minoa Restaurant
The Brief
They required comprehensive photography for their website and marketing to establish their brand presence. Moving beyond generic opening shots, they wanted imagery that captured both their artistic cuisine and authentic dining experience.
Creative Solution
We created a visual concept rooted in the chef's desert heritage and the restaurant's natural branding. I painted custom backdrops and sourced stones and plants that connected to their leaf logo. The minimal styling approach let the artistic dishes take center stage while atmospheric shots captured the dining experience.
Impact
The images became the foundation of their website and marketing, with one featured on a billboard. The photography established Minoa's distinctive brand identity in the competitive fine dining market, successfully communicating their artistic approach and authentic heritage to their target audience.

BEHIND THE CAMERA
I’m a former chef with over 15 years in the hospitality industry, working across Europe in five-star hotels. My career shifted when I discovered my passion for food photography. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with many leading hotel and hospitality brands, helping restaurants shape their visual identity and capturing chefs’ creations with my photography and styling. My work has been featured in multiple magazines, including Horeca and Temple, and I photographed the Game Recipes from Malta cookbook. I approach every project as a personal challenge—finding ways to create something unique and authentic to each business, capturing its essence and identity.
