Chocolate love.

I’ve been madly in love with natural lighting lately.

Hello! long time no see. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to update the blog lately, but I didn’t had a stable internet connection for a few weeks. I recently moved back to London to a new flat in Aldgate east which is really great. I’m sharing it with two very good friends who are working photographers too and we built a studio in the living room. The space is really nice and it’s great to be able to weak up and to have everything ready to shoot :)

An image of the studio, and one of some retouching time I was having the other night.

I’m finally finished redesigning my website!
I’m quite happy with the result :) I scanned my favorite Moleskine to build it, luckily I still had a few white pages in it. Please give a look and enjoy!

I recently found some drawings I did while I was in kindergarten.
I suddenly realized how important they are and how they really tell lots about me. they truly are a confirmation of my vision and the way I want to paint and see the world.
Sometimes I wish I was a good painter, I should practice more and get my pencils out of the drawer.
But photography is my medium. and even if I don’t like the fact that I need something so bulky and geeky to get things out of me I just can’t wait for the warm yellow spring light to lighten my next princess theme story.
(that will obviously be inspired by those images!)

more will come in my next posts :)

So today I’m going to be a bit off topic and post my favorite cookies recipe :)
The images are not great because I cooked them at night (..and I was too lazy to take my lighting kit out!), but the cookies where yummy! thanks to ‘cavolettodibruxelle’ for the nice recipe.

Ingredients:
butter 225g
sugar 150g
brown sugar 150g
eggs 2
flour 250g
chocolate chip 100g
leaven for cakes 1 small spoon
salt

How to:
First thing sift the flour with the leaven and a bit of salt.
Add the eggs, the sugar and the melted butter and mix well. I used a kitchen robot because the knead get quite tick. When finished put the mixture into the fridge for about 10 minutes
Take your knead out and start putting small heaps of it on a baking tin previously covered with some oven paper. Don’t make the heaps too big or too close to each other as the biscuits will grow a lot.
Let them cook in the oven at 180° for about 10 minutes.

A couple of days ago I went to the hoepli library here in Milan to browse books and magazines, and I couldn’t believe how expensive the illustrated book where. I then went home and saw that most of them where half of the price and sometimes even 1/3 of it on uk amazon! :)
