One of my favourite restaurants to photograph in Johannesburg is the BASALT restaurant at THE PEECH HOTEL.

Vicky and James Peech had the brainchild to run a series of pop up restaurant activations during the height of the Coronavirus – bringing a much needed boost to the local restaurant industry. Providing a space where loyal followers could support their favourite establishments and getting chefs into their favourite spaces – namely the kitchen and running a service.
One of the biggest treats was getting Candice Phillip ex Greys at the SAXON in for what was to become a regular fixture at BASALT.

The set menu was suitably dark and sumptuous, pairing with the BASALT atmosphere perfectly.
I was invited to shoot during one of their team tastings to promote the menu. The precision and creativity of the menu was a real treat to shoot. Having shot their a few times, I am used to the light and it gave us an opportunity to play with around with how we wanted to present the menu.
Candice is a consummate chef so the shoot did not require any styling- i got to play with light and shoot.
