Bar Louis — Editorial Photography for Hospitality Branding
A visual content series created for Bar Louis, a New York–based bar and lounge.
The goal was to capture the full atmosphere of the space — from interior design and lighting to signature drinks, food presentation, and the people behind the brand.
The shoot combined ambient light with controlled flash to maintain the natural mood of the environment while ensuring clean, consistent imagery.
The final images are designed for use across social media, website, and promotional materials, delivering a cohesive, editorial-style look that reflects the identity of the venue.

This is not just a seasonal shoot, it is a forensic study in brand dominance. I'm stripping away the fluff to reveal the raw signal of quality.
Design Board 008 highlights my use of photometric isolation, a technique where I calibrate lighting intensity to surgically separate the subject from the background noise. By forcing the environment into a dark void, I eliminate visual friction and command absolute focus on the highlights of the apparel and model.
Two directions for the same editorial brand.
One is a war correspondent's archive.
One is a propaganda poster that escaped the museum.
Neither is wrong.
That's the problem.
Ad 2 — ink, classical illustration, white space as silence.
The brand is a document.
Ad 3 — watermark grid, body in motion, sky as background.
The brand is a system.
One asks you to read.
One asks you to be watched.
MERIDIAN is being built in public.
Which version do you trust?

Both looks great
I've been working on a 3D render of Mac Miller's iconic mirror used in the album artwork for "The Divine Feminine". I wanted to challenge myself to make close up renders in Blender to accompany a different camera angle that I'm deciding to animate. I'm torn because I LOVE the depth of field on the flowers, but I wonder if it might be too much. What are your thoughts?
