These are some macro shots that I took last weekend at my final ACP Lighting class – something a bit different to the hastily-snapped, restaurant-based food photos that I usually do.

The cakes are from the excellent Adriano Zumbo patisserie in Balmain.

Here are a few photos I took while visiting Clipper Cafe in Glebe, recently. I’ve only eaten there once, but the experience was so good it was enough to shoot the place right up into my top five favourite Sydney breakfast joints (possibly even surpassing the previously unbeatable Ruby’s Diner).

Tasty, familiar breakfast food with a unique twist; a breezy, unpretentious atmosphere and a lovely waitress (Helena, pictured below) – all boxes ticked.

Sunday breakfast at Ruby’s Diner in Bronte. Its my new favourite place, mainly due to their amazing hand-cut fried potatoes – the coffee is also pretty damn good.

Dinner on saturday night at Opera Bar, Circular Quay. It’s one of our all-time favourite places to eat in Sydney.

Cafe Ish, Surry Hills.

Super-delicious, lovely people.

Full review to come shortly over at The Unbearable Lightness Of Being Hungry.

I’ve been working some ridiculous hours lately, and most of my weekends have vanished as our deadline looms – so it was good to take a bit of time out to have breakfast at Fratelli Paradiso in Potts Point on sunday. We don’t usually traverse that way in search of new food haunts (we generally gravitate Surry Hills or Newtown-wards), but this place has been on LTL’s radar for a while now. The visit was short, but sweet – it’s been marked down for further dinner investigation.

More food photography… sunday lunch at Sobo, Bondi.
