Here is a photo series I did during covid when all the restaurants and cafes were closed. I was trying to get a bit of a disconnected feeling but at the same time longing for that restaurant experience again. This is why I went with the shitty weather, looking in approach. Luckily we have all that back now. I never really did anything with the series. The ramen one is probably my favourite which was the one I shot first. Let me know what you thing of this as a series.

Creative! I agree that the ramen one is the best of the three, though the one with the snow and cream bun (?) is also fairly good. The person in that one with their face cut off adds a mysterious vibe, though I don't know if that's what you were going for.

The third one, with the beer, idk exactly what happened but the human fingers look weird, like you messed with the contrast or HSL and something went a bit funny. It's a nice shot otherwise, though.

Thanks, the finger looks a bit weird indeed, now that you have mentioned it. Should be able to fix that though. They are all basically selfies and I didn't really feel like showing my face hence they are all cut off.

The cream bun is Swedish semla, a cardamom bun filled with almond paste and cream they are delicious!

I agree but I think the cream bun is the best photo! I think the ramen photo is a little too busy and I like the juxtaposition of the candle, cream bun, and the hand. And how that leads you up to the face that we can't quite see. Kind of a mysterious vibe as you said, but I feel that having the face out of frame makes it easy for your mind to kind of put anyone there and I think that makes it a little more relatable for me at least.
