Taleggio
DownloadDirected by: Paolo Tonoli
I shot this tabletop spot for Taleggio cheese in Milano with Paolo Tonoli directing, and it was one of those jobs where the simplicity of the brief actually demands everything from you. We're talking about dairy, so the light has to feel natural but controlled, the color grading needs to sit somewhere between appetizing and honest, and the macro work has to show texture without looking clinical. The challenge wasn't adding complexity, it was stripping away anything unnecessary and letting the product speak. That's tabletop work at its core, really, especially with food, you're solving a puzzle where every millimeter of focus, every reflection, every shadow either serves the story or it doesn't.
