Another Cherry appreciation post! 🍒✨

A cake made by @haleythemaker for one of my class videos we filmed earlier this year. Thanks to a well positioned rim light, all the details of the icing swirls and cherries are nicely highlighted.

Bondi Produce & Specialty Foods | The Offerings

We are wrapping up this Bondi collab with the most ambitious shot of the day and my personal fave!

This in-camera display (final slide for proof) was a real practice in trusting the process and going with the flow. We had a general plan in mind but until we started taking some frames, we had no clue what would work. After plenty of trial & error, the image started to take shape. It was a massive team effort and I am super proud of how this came together! It is a true celebration of all that Bondi has to offer!

I’m delighted to mention that the leading image also won an @appliedartsmag photo award this year.

Big shoutout to @chrisrobinsonphoto for the studio space, @caitdo for your beautiful backdrops, @haleythemaker for your mad food styling skills and @jackrrintoul for your hard work and good energy. Last but not least, @courteliz for the collaboration and always informing me on what produce is in season.

Bondi Produce & Specialty Foods | Details

In this set of images, we wanted to keep it simple and focus on the textures and vibrant colours of the fruit & veg that Bondi offers. When you have produce this beautiful, you just need to add a little light and let the food speak for itself.

It was a very serene evening of chill tunes, finding interesting shapes and playing around with light.

Shoutout to @haleythemaker for sticking around and helping me with the Mafalde and a few others. And a big shoutout to @chrisrobinsonphoto for the studio space.

I am also thrilled to announce that this series won an @appliedartsmag award this year! 🎉

Bondi Produce & Specialty Foods | Crate Stack

If you live in Southern Ontario, chances are you’ve seen a Bondi truck out on delivery over the years or if you go out to a restaurant in Toronto, the produce the Chef is cooking with, yup, there’s a good chance it came from Bondi.

This family owned and operated business has been one of Ontario’s leading produce wholesalers for decades but it all started with a simple trip to the Ontario Food Terminal 50 years ago. The founder, Ignazio Bondi had recently immigrated to Canada and while trying to find his footing, he decided (with encouragement from his wife) to pack up his truck with some fruit and vegetables and start knocking on the doors of restaurants in Toronto. With no previous experience in produce, just a ton of ambition, he paved the path that has led his family to celebrating 50 years in business this year!

In honour of such an incredible milestone, I partnered up with Bondi to create images that celebrate all of the beautiful and delicious offerings they provide to thousands of businesses.

This photo shoot was particularly special for me as I was able to collaborate with my brilliant wife, Courtney who is the Marketing Manager at Bondi. We have long wanted to work together on a photoshoot, so it was truly magical to combine our skills and ideas for Bondi…

The idea that started it all was the leading image, “The Crate Stack”. These iconic forest green crates are essential to the business, so, it only seemed fitting to showcase them along with the produce it often holds.

The first challenge was getting these crates stacked in a way that was visually interesting and yet stable, so with the help of a few C-stands and wire, we were able to keep the crates in place as the produce weighed it down. That’s when the uber talented @haleythemaker came in to style the crates with a bunch of produce. While Courtney and Haley worked away on styling each crate, @jackrrintoul and I worked on lighting the scene. It took a few hours of hard work and patience, but we got the shot we set out to capture and I’m super proud of everyone who helped bring this to life!

Stay tuned for more!
