Food and drink: Maru Bistro

Maru Bistro is a Japanese restaurant using French techniques located in Leslieville, a neighbourhood in the east end of Toronto. Before I worked with them to create these beautiful photos, I had visited this restaurant multiple times. I enjoy the food, the casual ambiance, and the wonderful staff and I always look forward to coming back.

Food and drink: IKEA products only

I was looking for inspiration to spark some creativity and originally, I was aiming for a photo, but ended up making this fun stop motion.

Creative concept

Use only IKEA products to create a refreshing food and drink photo. Everything here, except for the backdrop, is from IKEA. Even the surface that everything is sitting on and the shadows were created from IKEA products.

Here are the products I used:

• Cider Päron

• Festligt

• Grilltider basket

• Grilltider tray
