THE WANDERER MADEIRA
Photography& Website Project
Selim arrived in Madeira with an idea to open a unique restaurant in the heart of Funchal. With ingredients sourced from very small local producers to ensure high quality dishes, allowing each guest a very enthusiastic journey around food. But not only that, discover more about our adventure in this portfolio!
PROJECT "THE WANDERER"
1. Following Selim on his great journey, building his restaurant.
Over a period of many days we were travelling all over the island to find the most delicate local products from a great number of small organic producers. Everything from honey, herbs, flowers and mushrooms that will create mesmerizing flavors for whoever enters through the Wanderer’s door to artisan wood and ceramic works that is decorating the interior of the restaurant.
The product is the star
With the idea of showcasing ingredients sourced locally, Selim mainly uses products that can be found on the island. His concept alone, allows him to work with producers that you would otherwise not find nor encounter in Madeira. Join us on the journey that was, meeting all of his partners.
Meeting local producers and passionate people
An occasion to rediscover Madeira through the eyes of local and organic producers was, and still is something out of the extraordinary. There are so many great ingredients growing in the wild as well for in the gardens of small landowners. Everything from fish such as Golden Rainbow Trout to fully organic grown lemons, annona fruits and wild black- and blueberries

2.DESIGN A WEBSITE THAT GIVE A CLEAR IDEA ABOUT THE PROJECT
With such an unusual project from Selim, the website must highlight and explain the idea of the experience the guest will have once inside the restaurant. Create enough curiosity within the viewer to book their seat at the table out of desire to find out more.

3. SHOOTING PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE MENU
Though I have done my fair share of test photography on my own, shooting ingredients and plates in the past. I was not in my comfort zone when it came to the challenge of capturing the Art, that is in Selim’s dishes. With his guidance and expertise in foods, it became a delight to work on this challenge and the end result is something that I can not be happier with. Selim’s project truly deserves the best result that I could ever hope to give.
