Tiger Hornsby

Tiger Hornsby, a stylish cocktail bar on Newcastle Quayside, was gearing up to launch a fresh new summer menu. Known for its dark and moody atmosphere, the bar wanted a lighter, fresher vibe for their imagery to complement the season and showcase their vibrant new drinks.

The brief was clear: a simple, minimal set design that added interest without overpowering the cocktails themselves. Each drink needed to be the star of the show, and with their vibrant colours and intricate details, they had plenty of character to shine. To achieve this, I worked with the core elements of each cocktail—fresh ingredients, garnishes, and a single spoon as a prop. These subtle additions brought texture and context to the shots without distracting from the main focus.

The result? Crisp, clean visuals that perfectly captured the essence of summer while allowing the cocktails’ vibrant colours and craftsmanship to take centre stage. It was a pleasure to help Tiger Hornsby create imagery that brought their menu to life and showcased the artistry behind each drink.

Since then, I’ve been back a couple of times, seasonally every time they needed to launch a new menu.
