Gantley’s is one of those hidden treasures in Queenstown. An amazing building with lots of history and it a great place to dine and shoot food.
I have spent many hours shooting at Blanket bay with previous head chef Jason Dell but this time I shot with the new head chef Mark Sycamore and as always we had a great time and the food out of this world.
Postmasters in Arrowtown has an amazing reputation for fine dining so it was great to get the chance to shoot there.
The Big picture is located in Cromwell and is a great place and if you have been there it’s well worth a trip for the food and the wine experience.
Savvy is an amazing project shot over 5 months in Queenstown and Wanaka. Jason Dell is the head chef at world renowned Blanket Bay lodge in Glenorchy and approached me months ago about with his book project and after a few coffees and meetings we were on the way.
We shot the whole book in the area using Blanket bay and several other kitchens around Wanaka and Queenstown.
All dishes were shot within 2 minutes from Jason finished making them so it was all lot of pressure to get all set ups right to get the best shot but also a great feeling shooting fresh food using no artificial methods or set ups.
The book was published by Harper Collins and sold by Paper Plus all over New Zealand
