Coffee Obsession New Book

A new book that I worked on came out over the summer, "Coffee Obsession" Thanks to all those at Dorling Kindesley for creating another great looking book. The best Art direction as all ways by Nicky Collings.
Using Beans from all over the wold supplied by the Square Mile coffee roasters, We got through a mountain of coffee and created some gorgeous Latte Art!

Lots of information on how to make the perfect espresso, cappuccino and latte.
Detailed information of coffee growers from around the world.

We had a state of the art coffee machine, grinder and top barista to create the perfect cup of coffee.

Fantastic recipes on flavouring your favourite coffee

I think I over did a bit on the caffeine intake!

I like this one

I can hear some of you shouting at me- the difference is in the f number! The smaller the f number the ...

Pro Tip series #1

Pro Tip series #1 Which is the best camera for food Photography? I get asked by many of those attending my courses or contacting me through my website, which is the best camera for food, or advice on a first camera to start shooting food projects. I will come back to that question but first a trip down my camera memory lane.... queue “twilight Zone” music I have not owned many cameras and have tried to upgrade as finances and opportunities allow. My first camera as a Professional was a Sinar 5x4 camera I bought it second hand for £300 ! Lens not included and remember travelling on the bus in some London suburb to pay cash for it. The lens took another year to buy. I hired lenses as needed. It is a camera definitely not for the faint hearted. It needs a sturdy tripod, the image is projected on the back screen upside down and the flipped left to right and sheet film is used measuring 5x4inches. It seems ancient now, but at the time delivered high quality images ...
