Everyday Unknown: Fine Dining at the Cafeteria

Here's an innovation and creative fine dining project for Ms. Lacson. The task was to create 3 fine dining dishes, plate them and shoot the products in under 3 hours. Always on the search for everyday unknown, we find dishes fit for a 5-star restaurant at the Gonzaga Cafeteria, Ateneo de Manila University. Bon Appetit!

Appetizer

Vietnamese Bacon Spring Roll

Entree

Re-History

I don't know if it's true what they say about history repeating itself but we pushed the definition in this project. Re-History tires to capture the spirit of photographs from Philippine history, iconic or anonymous. The concept of recapturing history is really quite interesting. And no matter how close we get to the first photo, we know it'll never be exactly the same. Something to ponder on for the night. :o?
