Behind the Scenes

Filming with Chef Vineet in Dubai brought its own unique challenges and rewards. The behind-the-scenes involved intricate coordination between the culinary team and the film crew, ensuring that every dish was beautifully presented.

Perfect Exposure

Achieving the perfect exposure was crucial for showcasing the vibrant colors and textures of the high tea dishes. By utilizing false color, we ensured that every dish, from the delicate pastries to the fine china, was perfectly lit. The technique allowed us to balance the natural light in the venue with the soft highlights, ensuring that the luxurious feel of the event was maintained throughout the shoot. This attention to detail was key in delivering a visually stunning piece that resonated with both audiences and judges at the New York Festival.
