It’s an easy yet slightly poised ambience at The Olive Tree restaurant. Diners talk in hushed voices while their facial grimaces show reverence and subdued delight. Lighting is dimmed, walls are in a shade of olive with simple artwork, with a feature wall on one side, floors and tables are of wood, with chairs with black or olive green upholstery.

In many ways, this was a little bit of epicurean theatre. The amuse bouche was a bite-sized raw beef taco with sour cream, and jalapeno topped with spring onions. This was a flavoursome mouthful of crispy taco textures contrasting with the super soft beef.

When choosing lenses, think about the distortion that some of your lenses will cause and work to avoid it. Finally, be sure to spend some time considering how you want to present the building by thinking about the best time of day for the best light.
