Today was a great pleasure to get to know the amazing couple René Hofer and Maryam Ebrahimi, sweet people introduced by the good friend and partner Ariane Tavakol. You can see her post with a very well done behind the scenes video here.
The photo shoot took place in the charming and classy Lindenhofkeller, a fantastic restaurant in the middle of Old Town Zürich where you can find some of the finest options the Swiss cuisine has to offer, accompanied by an extraordinary wine selection. They do boast an impressive list of 600 wines from the best the world has to offer. Don’t believe me, check what Michellin has to say about them:
With its homely romantic touch, this elegant cellar restaurant with wine lounge fits harmoniously into the contemplative old town scene. Classic cooking with modern elements.
If all these credentials were not enough, the building itself dates from some 400 years back and the photo session took place in a cosy wine cellar filled up with finest wine and a unique atmosphere. I could even forget I had just recovered my camera bag with 3 cameras, flashes and a ton of gear. Earlier I ended up leaving it in a train and had a hard time until I recovered it all untouched! Fantastic Switzerland!
The shoot went great and we had a lot of fun, while capturing some really nice images from René and from the couple. The photos will feature in Cultweine and I will update this post when this happens. You can see more information about this photo shoot in the Projects section of the site.
I already look forward to meeting this couple again!
