Foody Portraits, capturing restaurant atmosphere

It made a refreshing change to be taking some portraits whilst photographing a restaurant and food.

Here are Melibea's Manager David, and Executive chef Alex Ureña

Photographing for Zagat in New York I have just been requested to photograph food and an empty restaurant, but Melba the curated dining experience people wanted me to capture some of the atmosphere and the personalities behind the food. It took me back to my Travel photography days covering gastronomy, lifestyle and landscape. Here is Melibea's Mixologist with some of his creations

I loved the opportunity to capture some of the behind the scenes action, and of course enjoy some of the fully flavoured meditteranian fusion food at the west village restaurant Melibea.

The staff's sense of fun and attention to detail was impressive
