Kraken Rum

Over the last couple of weeks I have been doing some drink tests (Photographing, not drinking!!). I decided to base my project on Kraken Rum as it’s my favourite. I wanted to give my shots the feel that they had been photographed on a ship, so I spent a lot of time selected my props and lighting each shot. I am really pleased with the final results. On the Kraken rum’s website (http://www.krakenrum.com/), they have a list of Kraken based rums. I selected a few of them to photograph: This one is ‘The Kraken Cider’. Contains 1 part Kraken, 2.5 parts Apple Cider, & then garnished with a cinnamon stick. “The Kraken Black’ Contains: 2 parts Kraken, 1 Part Kahlua, then fill with Guinness ‘The Perfect Storm’ Contains: 1 part Kraken & 2 parts Ginger Beer ‘The Kraken Coffee’ Contains: 2 parts Kraken, 1 part Baileys, 1 part Kahlua, Hot coffee & whipped cream (Amazing!!!) ‘The Black Mojito’ Contains: 1 part Kraken & 1 part Soda. Muddle with Syrup, Lime, Ginger and Mint. I am really happy with the results of this test shoot. I think my favourite cocktail shot has to ‘The Kraken Coffee’. I think it looks fab […]

New Test Images

Although the sun has been shining today, I decided to stay indoors and do a few more test images. I made a mean Salsa and Guacamole last week when we had friends round for tea, so I decided to base this shoot on Mexican dips. Here are my favourite 4 images from today:
