Чому ваші айфони не годяться для професійної зйомки

Serhii / news / / 0 Comments

Айфон чудовий для особистих фото й швидких моментів. Але коли йдеться про створення контенту для бренду, ресторану чи fashion‑проєкту, смартфон не завжди може забезпечити потрібну якість. Саме тут ми у Nagorna Agency використовуємо камери Nikon. Ось чому:

  • Оптика та зум — професійні об’єктиви дозволяють знімати крупні плани на відстані без втрати якості. Айфон цього не може: його «зум» — цифровий і псує картинку.
  • Великий сенсор — повнокадрова камера захоплює більше світла, деталей і глибини кадру.
  • Кінематографічний вигляд відео — знятий матеріал має природне «bokeh», чисте зображення навіть у сутінках.
  • RAW‑файли та високі бітрейти — гнучкість у постпродакшені та кольорокорекції.
  • Професійний звук — камери Nikon дозволяють підключати зовнішні мікрофони безпосередньо та інтегрувати їх у професійний workflow.

Айфон та інший просунутий смартфон — чудовий для простих зйомок, але дійсно професійний фото‑ та відеоконтент потребує інструментів іншого рівня. Саме тому ми працюємо з Nikon — щоб ваш бренд виглядав конкурентно й професійно.
PS Проте, додатково для польових сесій ми використовуємо смартфони від Sony, позаяк вони незамінні для швидких репортажних зйомок і дозволяють керувати процесом на майже професійному рівні.

Фешн фотосесія у форматі street style. Головне завдання, яке ми ставили перед собою під час зйомки — передати характер, сучасність фешн бренду, його автентичність та неповторність.

Add alcohol. Enhance the flavor. Unleash the aroma

Why do we use alcohol in our dishes?

Exquisite Dessert

Humanity began crafting fermented beverages back in the Neolithic era and recognized the benefits of alcohol. People became so engrossed in purposeful production of alcoholic beverages and stopping them was impossible. When a dish is being prepared in the kitchen and there’s an alcoholic beverage nearby, people will inevitably try to combine them. Sooner or later, it happens. Dishes with the addition of white, red, or rosé wine have been known from ancient times to the present day. Dishes with beer are a classic of German cuisine and many other countries. Strong alcohol is added to dishes made from meat, fish, seafood, various types of baked goods, and desserts. But for what purpose?

Professional chefs confidently state that alcoholic beverages enhance the taste and help the aromas of the dish fully unfold. Alcohol becomes a kind of conductor of chemical processes. Its molecules interact with fat and water, transferring aromas and flavors from the liquid medium to the dense one.

In meat dishes (like the famous French Boeuf Bourguignon), red wine is added. And the dish Coq Au Vin made from rooster cannot be prepared without red wine. They are made for each other. Some types of berry sauces are enhanced with whiskey. White wine is added to sauces for fish and seafood, red wine for meat. Do you remember that wine for a dish is selected according to its sauce?

When the whole family is at the dining table, can such dishes be served to children? More often than not, the answer is positive (except for sauces). Alcohol evaporates quickly during cooking, and its beneficial effects remain. White wine can be used in dishes with fish and seafood. This adds acidity. Fish can be marinated with white wine. It produces an excellent taste, and it prevents the development of undesirable microorganisms.

When you want the dish to have the scent of wood, brandy is added. Beer gives a rich bread taste. This is a classic of German cuisine. Dishes with the addition of beer are also often prepared in the Czech Republic, where brewing traditions are very strong. Pork knuckle cooked with craft barley beer according to a German recipe. This method of preparation makes the meat soft, tender, and easy to separate from the bone.

Try Crocodile, Choose Durian, Become a Vegetarian in Asia

Hanna Boiko

The gastronomic world of Asia is bright and colorful. It is not like European cities. This is a different rhythm of life, worldview, culture, traditions. Residents of this vibrant and often warm part of the world are accustomed to their food and take it for granted. For Europeans, Asian eating habits can be funny or even shocking. The average European stomach, to be honest, is not always ready for that kind of diversity. Eating habits are also unique here. So, let’s figure that out, and ask. No, not from professors, doctors, gurus, but from ordinary travelers. What is the Asian gastronomic world like? Let’s find out from a professional model and gastronomic enthusiast, Hanna Boiko. Due to her work and passion for culinary research, she travels a lot to Asian countries, tasting and cooking. And over there she became a vegetarian.

How many years have you been traveling, and which Asian countries have you been to?

I’m traveling for about 8 years, and I’ve visited countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan, India, South Korea, China, and Cambodia.

What gastronomic features surprised you the most, and in which country was it?

Durian
Durian

The most exotic thing I’ve ever tried was definitely Durian. It’s a fruit that they call “the king of all fruits”; it has a very pungent smell, but a sweet and creamy taste, though it’s surely not for everyone. The smell can easily put people off trying it. And I also tried crocodile meat. I was expecting something incredible. But it tastes like chicken to me. I didn’t want to try grasshoppers, beetles, or spiders. Although for residents of various Asian countries, this is historically normal, these things are meant for tourists like me.

Which Asian country’s cuisine do you like best and why? Did individual dishes or the national cuisine as a whole win your heart?

My favorite cuisines so far have to be Thai and Korean. Both are very unique and have a high spice level, but also both incorporate sweet and sour ingredients in their cooking, to make the dishes balanced.

How do you usually get acquainted with the cuisine of a new country? Do you choose a restaurant, cafe in advance, or go to the local farmers market and try to cook yourself?
