Radius Dining - Local Paradise State of Mind

Radius Dining
A refined farm-to-table restaurant in downtown Hamilton, Radius Dining focuses on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients served in a vibrant, upscale setting. For this summer campaign, Radius Dining wanted to evoke a “Local Paradise State of Mind” — a feeling of escape grounded in Hamilton’s vibrant dining culture. The goal was to create visuals that resonated with both male and female audiences, blending the restaurant’s modern, interiors with a fresh, transportive feel to paradise. The client requested a vibrant, moody look.

We anchored the creative direction in sunset-inspired tones, using warm lighting, tropical styling and playing with reflections to bring a soft, radiant contrast to the space, enhancing Radius brand colour blue with orange and luscious green to complement the vision. The result was a series of food and drink images that captured the juxtaposition of paradise and place — a celebration of local ingredients elevated through an editorial, escapist lens.

Hess Village a pedestrian-only street complex in the downtown of Hamilton, Canada, is home to various amenities and shops, notable restaurants and historic buildings. The Hess Village Passport features delicious offerings from participating restaurants in the area. As part of the marketing on their social media, I provided creative direction, photography/ videography, and food styling services for nine establishments focusing on one/ two featured menus per restaurant. My goal is to create a drool-worthy image with a unique look that fits the vibes of each participating establishment.

Verlan Creperie

Verlan Creperie is a brunch, petit marche, French-inspired creperie in Hamilton. The client requires photos for their new menu that will appeal to family, friends, and couples to come and enjoy food together.We want to enchance the Parisian bistro vibe through the use of a colour palette that is on brand yet nostalgic to Parisian bistro vibe. I provided creative direction, and photography services for this project.

Creative by Nature - Celebrating Creativity Summer 2024 Edition

Creative by Nature is a biannual journal exploring human nature through the prism of creativity, founded and edited by Eva Bronzini. I had the pleasure to write a few words and contributed the creative direction, and photography for the visuals for their Celebrating Creativity edition. The goal of the visual is to inspire creatives to have a carefree, rejuvenating time, being a creative winner that they are to rise above challenges,and celebrate their creative muscle, outside the box, anytime anywhere. Like dancing as if no one is looking even though it is in a public space. When you are immersed in the creative flow, you feel energized, light, and fulfilled. The colour palate and grading is also intentionally tuned to enhance that feeling!
