Phwoar, Leandro Farina's got some extremely tasty still life under his belt

A couple of weeks ago we featured some set design by the excellent David White that had been lovingly captured by photographer Leandro Farina. On closer inspection it became abundantly clear that Leandro is a master of his art in his own right, shooting images of exceptionally high quality for an awesome list of clients. The Canadian-born, London-based photographer has earned quite a reputation for himself since his trans-Atlantic migration, working with publications like Wallpaper, Port, Dazed & Confused and British Vogue as well as brands like Harvey Nichols and Liberty. He’s renowned for his professionalism and attention to detail when constructing still-life shots (in the past he’s allowed himself a whole day to construct three images for Port) but most importantly of all the man knows how to take a cracking picture.
