An exceptional venue for a dinner about fluidity
The subject
A dinner on fluidity devised by Alajmo (Le Calandre) to present a bottle of Dom Pérignon to its best clients, at the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, in 2023.
The point of view
To hold together the event, the product, the dishes and the actions, I introduced motion blur as a narrative element, so that it could carry the fluidity of the theme.
The photograph I feel is most representative is of a hostess passing, blurred, beneath the Dom Pérignon logo.
The Chiostro, being on a higher level, offered very evocative views from above, and the setting lent itself to being shot from there.
The journey
2023: a commission from a Milan agency for the Dom Pérignon presentation.
The images were delivered in high and low resolution, for social media and print.
Food & Beverage Photography: Alajmo X Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon and the Alajmo family represent two visions meeting on the same ground: radical quality. The Maison brings a century of history and a devotion to the perfect vintage; Le Calandre brings a research-driven kitchen and the ability to turn an ingredient into a concept.
Table settings, dishes, details of material and gesture: each image works on its own and gains depth beside the others, without flattening either of the two worlds.
Do you have a subject that deserves a point of view, not just a photograph?
