Fire and cocktails have always gone hand in hand, from releasing the aromatic qualities of herbs and garnish to the infusion of wood flavors in in creations. On the photography side of things you cant deny that fire adds a strong visual element to any image and it’s surprisingly easier than you think! Both images below were taken while the bartender placed his final touches on his cocktails. It all comes down to timing ( having a camera that shoots a high Frame per second rate also helps!) plan the sequence of your shots, communicate with your bartender and do a few test runs before the final. Both photos were taken with available light and the Sony Ar7II.
