Raw meat.

Song: Meat is murder (The Smiths).

Last week, it was raining in my studio and we are very busy people. Stop working wasn’t an option, Then, we decided to make some rain pictures.

Also, this has been the first photo session with my new assistant Sílvia Latorre.

In front of the camera, the well known Lluís Niubò.

Song: Tired (Adele).

A heap of wood and bamboo chopsticks in a soft toned look. I had this image in my mind for some months and I photographied it last week. I wanted to create a different image of chopsticks playing with a really narrow deep of field.

I’m an absolut disaster. This month (I’m almost late for one day…) is the first birthday of the blog!!! I started it in May 2007. Now he’s learning to walk by himself.

To celebrate it, I prepared a recopilation my favourite photos I have made in the first year of the blog. I realise that I have done more work than I thought!!!!

Thanks to all you few unconditionals of the blog from here and from beyond the sea, specially thanks for the suport to the trio lalala (Numero f, Uno de los nuestros and Theyedropper), el Barbón!, Isaías, Judy Farr and the new arrived Doublecloth.

Here are some photos of a project I’m working in just now. These are some images of the great Restaurant Benet in Les Borges Blanques (Catalonia).

In the heart of the greatest olive oil of the world (made of arbequina olives), the young chef Francesc Xavier Benet makes a modern and exquisite cuisine very vinculated to his terrain and costumes. This is the second year that the Michelin guide recommends his restaurant.

We took a photo of a nice dessert made with wine in all the elements: biscuit-bread, jelly and sorbet.

A funny image to represent some possible concepts (eat your greens, alternative treatments, natural medicine, overdose, drugs abuse, etc.).

I tried to get a soft toned look to this shoot.

I was looking for an innocent, happy and funny vision of this delicious berry fruit based in its atractive colour and the lightly bitter taste.

I have tried to create a contrast between a white background and red poppies. I wanted a soft and peaceful atmosphere for these very small decorative spices.

Poppy seeds are used to garnish bread and savoury bakery.

The spring is here and, of course, the lovely peas are here too.

In this image I wanted to make a green fresh feeling and play with the curly twigs.

This is a dangerous spiced cucumber.

Keep yourself away!
