Food Styling

So this is my 350th post! Wow. Time flies.. but when you do things that you like, you don't count time or any efforts you've made. So suddenly it's been my second year of blogging. I hope this will continue long enough, and each post will give you good thing, even for just a little! 

Awhile ago, a photographer whom I happen to know and worked with for tabloid NOVA (a real cool-awesome-pro one, unlike myself) Mas Agus Dwianto, published some of his work in Facebook, and there I saw some of my work on his photos. Suddenly I miss this job.. getting my hands dirty playing with food that feels like a sinful pleasure ( remember when we were kids, our mom keep telling us not to  play with our food? Now they pay me for doing it! ) 

Now you understand why I love this job :-)

those picture above were for the Valentine's Day edition, and the following photos are traditional Palembang food and delicacies. Special thanks for mas Agus Dwianto for letting me publishing his photos here :-) 

When Srivijaya Meets Moroccan

Another unique request to marry Srivijaya culture with Moroccan theme. But well, both loves spice and rich colors, lavish decor and golden hues. So, why not?

The Royal Srivijaya

Last year, I have two events with the same concept; the grand Srivijaya Kingdom. Famous for its rich culture, the songket cloth woven in golden thread and hues of mangosteen (a kind of fruit originated from Indonesia), Srivijaya is magnificent inspiration for a fabulous decor.

One assignment was from the fashion designer,  Ms. Ghea Panggabean, famous for its ethnic infusion, when she launched the chinaware with her signature design, pelangi pattern (Srivijaya tie-dye textile). I set up the table for her, giving a little touch of antique gold accessories here and there.

( pardon me for the blurred image, back then I only have small pocket camera and the file I found was in a very small size)

Pelangi Chinaware Collection by Ghea Panggabean for Kedaung

venue: Alun-Alun Indonesia, Grand Indonesia Shopping Mall- Jakarta

Flower and decor: in cooperation with Bimo Singgih & Alun-Alun Indonesia VM team

 The other one was a decor for Ied Celebration for a national bank. The same theme, different occasion. So there I put some scarlet james storii orchid decorated with golden ketupat and Sumatran gold  hair accessories.

 Props & Set: Stupa Caspea

Flower: in cooperation with Bimo SInggih

Palembang Delicacies

Mas Agus, the mr. photographer

Just Lost my mac during a fashion show recently :-( 

but hey, life goes on, I should move on and keep seeing things on the bright side, right? 

So, here's a little work I've made for Tabloid NOVA yesterday. 

Some photos made in a rush but hopefully it will brings you appetite. Pardon me, for I don't remember the name of each - but trust me, it smells and tastes sooo good! 

If you want to make it yourself, be patient, the recipes will be published any soon by Tabloid NOVA, or just check its online magz here.
