OK. A Peruvian, a Scot and an Italian walk into a restaurant...
Sounds like the lead-in to a corny attempt at humour, but in this case, it's true - this happens every day. Where? At Ormeggio, a brand new restaurant in Mosman, at The Spit in North Sydney.
These images are a few from last weeks session - part one of a package I put together in a proposal to the restaurant directors for promotional photography. Part two is covering their opening night - lots of happy (fingers crossed) 'grip-and-grins'.
I'm happy to have the job - but not for reasons you might guess.
Because no matter how random the relationship might seem, you never know where your next job will be coming from. For Ormeggio, I was fortunate enough to have worked previously with one of Ormeggio's managers, who supported my proposal for photographic work. Even though one of the other management members had an established relationship with a photographer, I was fortunate enough to receive the assignment. And it's been a privilege - not only was the food sensational, but to see what goes on behind the scenes in what is obviously a 'family' of diverse nationalities and personalities.
So I think it goes to show - avoid burning bridges, and never underestimate the value of developing and furthering a relationship...
