Shaking up Kuala Lumpur’s Cocktail Scene

People are getting very excited about the cocktails we’ve shot for the newly opened cocktailbar ‘Coppersmith’ in Kuala Lumpur. Go check out these six creative signature cocktails and six classics with a twist created by Cocktail Professor.

My friend Stiger Woods transfers photo’s to wood and coats the work in a hi-gloss epoxy, the result is a unique piece of art for your home or kitchen. After the succes with the fish series last year we decide it was time to create some new work, this time veggies, soon to be revealed and to be purchased here. Or if you want to see the work in real life, just head over to hutspot.  Do you like…

A Swiss Army Knife for Ideas

Lately I’ve been incredibly inspired by the bestseller book ‘Making Ideas Happen‘ by Scott Belsky. He’s the man behind portfolio service Behance and 99U; Behance’s think tank and annual conference devoted to execution in the creative world. I think everybody in the creative industry could benefit from reading this book that is like a Swiss Army knife for idea’s. For me is was very refreshing to…

Simple Idea’s Make it Pop

Last few weeks we were able to see what cocktails were favourite with the international crowd in Woobar At W-Retreat Koh Samui. My personal favourite in this series would definitely be the Same Same, But Different. I love the simple idea to have two identical looking cocktails with each slightly different ingredients so you can find and learn about your personal preferences in taste. Photography…

Delight Yoga, a Place to Be

Last weekend Delight Yoga opened their fourth venue in Amsterdam, and every time I step into one of the wonderful spaces I get lifted up a little. It is amazing how little you need to make a place so breathtaking. The simple but stylish elements are so well chosen and serve just one purpose, to calm the mind and be connected.

Marvin – Good Food, Wonderful Gifts

My dear friend and cook Sarah has opened up shop – Marvin – a few months ago in de Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam. The menu focuses on vegetables, daily fresh and local products. Last week I finally had the chance to go and photograph some of the items from the menu. It looked and tasted great. Good luck with the new shop Sarah! — This is the blog of Amsterdam based food photographer Aico Lind. Did you…

The assignment includes everything from photographing potential neighbourhoods and their promotion teams, portraits of company…

At dusk it is still 30°C. It is the fasting month in Indonesia. When the sun goes down, everybody is allowed to eat again and that’s just what they’re going to do. People are hungry and order their portions ahead of the call, so when it comes they can start eating immediately. Warung Saté, at Taman Kencana Square in Bogor Indonesia, is more than ready. Two men work the grill, a big fan behind…

Here’s to another year of collecting, watching and getting inspired by food photographers from all over the world,  distilled to this very subjective list of personal favourites. I’m always on the lookout for new talent or trends. I just love food (photography)! So many things come to play and so often it’s a thin threat we walk upon from just right to plain wrong. And if you ask me what it is…

Peak4 a Team That Inspires

Business portraits are always tough to get in a different direction then what’s expected. But with Peak4 I saw the chance to do things a bit different. Peak4 is a company that helps teams improve their performance. I wanted to portrait them as the inspirational and professional people they are and make it a bit more personal.   Behind the Scene – Natural light, I love it!

Let’s Have a Nosh
