When you work with Nunchi, you're not only supporting a small business owner - you're supporting a woman who has worked very hard to get to where she is today - Not only as an entrepreneur but as an immigrant from Nicaragua who has had to go through countless nights of writing and filing applications in order to be able to work here in the US.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When we say that we care about what we do, WE MEAN IT 〰️because we know how hard it is to get to where we are today - and we know that everything we do is a representation of where we come from. So trust us when we say that nothing drives us and inspires us more than our own journey - and we don't take anything for granted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cocktail / Beverage photography is so much fun, but requires a lot of planning, detail, patience, and believe it or not - speed. There’s something about liquids, glass, REAL ice and garnishes that is so entertaining and creates layers to great composition.

Photos can be simple (like this one) where you let one or two components drive the emotion, or they can be complex and filled with props that tell a story.

Not matter the style you’re going for, here are a few general tips for great cocktail or beverage photography:

▫️Decide your concept & select a surface that is right. Make sure the surface is clean and the colors go well with the desired results. For example if your desired style is clean, bright and minimal, you probably wont want to work on dark wood - you might want a solid or light colored surface instead.

▫️Plan ahead 〰️ start arranging everything for your photo and use an empty glass where the drink would go in the photo - this way you can have the composition ready and replace the empty vessel with the real cocktail / drink once your are ready to shoot. Remember, drinks don’t last too long! So planning and being ready with everything else in place and with your camera in focus is super important - Ice melts and loses shape, condensation starts looking messy and getting surfaces wet, garnishes sink or loose their freshness, bubbly drinks will lose their fizz and go flat, so yes - you have to be ready and act fast. (Use a tripod)

▫️Make sure the lighting comes from the side and not from the front. It’s also good to have a small light come from behind the drink so the liquids pop even more.

▫️Make sure you pay attention to detail before you shoot. That means making sure surfaces are clean. No dust on props or glasses, no fingerprints or lint. You don’t want to spend time shooting, to then, go and have to spend time on extra editing correcting things you could have avoided in the first place.

▫️Have fun and don’t be afraid of experimenting with what you have at hand. Sometimes a simple piece of fabric or anything around you can become a key piece to creating the mood and add layers to your photo.

Can be technically considered ice cream? 🤔 Maybe not, but we thought we’d share this awesome shot we did for Fantastick Pops and celebrate anyway! 〰️ We had so much fun during this quick shoot ✨🥝🍓Thanks to Design Vice for inviting us on their project!

Did you also know that chocolate ice cream was invented before vanilla? 🧐 Vanilla was actually considered a rare and exotic flavor back in the 1700’s.

Ice cream is definitely a comfort food so it comes to no surprise that according to statistics, around 90% of Americans have ice cream in their freezers! 😱 So eat up and start celebrating! It’s extra hot outside, so you have a good excuse! 😉

We are stoked to be officially launching our brand today! ✨We’ve been working non-stop for months and months and we can’t contain our excitement that it’s finally here! 💫
