Selected work · London
Darroze — the craft of a cocktail
Photographs of Agostino Perrone creating cocktails with Armagnacs Darroze in London. A portrait of concentration, paired with a close study of hands, glass and smoke.
Narrative imagery
A scene with a story.
From an intimate portrait to a dramatic composition, light and setting give the image its atmosphere.
The approach
Preparation gives the image room to happen.
01 · Intention
Start with the story.
The person, the brand and the purpose of the image shape the visual direction.
02 · Preparation
Build the atmosphere.
Lighting, location and composition are considered together before the shoot.
03 · The portrait
Give each frame time.
Thoughtful direction and attention to small details, with the emphasis on a focused set of strong images.
