The client wanted photos captured to showcase the restaurant's terrace. The restaurant owner needed a variety of photos to promote its venue on social media.
The goal of the shoot was to showcase groups of people having a good time with cocktails and food. We combined people in various groups, boy groups, girl groups, mixed groups, couple shots and so on.

The Problem
The restaurant needed high-quality photos to showcase its outdoor area. The client wanted photos that featured guests outside with nice backdrops, among the garden plants and the pleasant outdoor space. I was avoiding the moving cars and the traffic beside the venue.
Colourful cocktails and delicious food were not really the focus. I was capturing the “guests” (a.k.a. the models) having fun, with attention to small details, such as visible logos on glasses facing the camera and drinks not covering dishes on the table.
