The beauty of beverages
Hola!
In this blog, I want to share with you my experience as a photographer of beverages such as mezcal, tequila, and other distillates and drinks I have the opportunity to work with.
I also want to share with you that in any beverage there is beauty. It can be from a glass of “agua fresca” (fruit water), a cup of coffee, or even the elaborate preparation of a cocktail.
For me, it is important to recognize and share with you the importance of the beverages in gastronomy as well as the dishes. Every drink you taste goes through a long process of work; in the case of tequila and mezcal, the agave has to wait more than 6 years to grow, and that is important to know because having this information, we value each beverage we drink and we see its beauty in different parts of the process, from the ingredients, cooking techniques, bottling, and pairing with food.
Understanding the details of this process can make a huge difference in how we appreciate these drinks. It's not just a bottle with a pretty label, it's a story behind each brand.
Your tequila or mezcal shot starts in the field.
In this blog post, I will share my experience visiting agave fields and explain how it increased my appreciation for mezcal and tequila.
Why do I take photographs of beverages ?
A tequila or mezcal is more than just a bottle, there are many people involved in the elaboration of these distillates so it is important to portray processes and document the work behind each bottle., and not only in alcoholic beverages, the processes are just as important in non-alcoholic beverage brands, from a coffee to the elaboration of a mocktail.
In this blog you can read my experience on photography and learn through my images and history part of the process of making drinks.
