My approach to styling the shoot had instinctively been too look at how spirit companies style and market cocktails. So to begin I decided to first look at how Grey Goose is styled and marketed.

After this I wondered what was referred to as contemporary fruit photography, so began researching this on the internet.

What I found was the likes of Emanuelle Dascanio, a fine artist born in Milan 1983. As well as people Emmanuelle’s portfolio also includes hyperrealistic paintings of fruit. I have found his work hugely inspiring in such ways of as how he manages to make the fruit such a complete subject on its own by painting with light and shadow.
