Storytelling & photography — a cross-border collab beer

Black Hole — BBP × Basqueland

Black Hole is a Strawberry Waffle Imperial Stout — a 10.5% collaboration between Brussels Beer Project and Basqueland Brewing (San Sebastián), brewed with Liège waffles, maple syrup and strawberry. I shot the campaign around the launch: product, ingredients, and the playful energy of the collab.

Overview

When Brussels Beer Project teamed up with Spain’s Basqueland Brewing on a strawberry-waffle imperial stout, the brief was to make the collaboration feel as indulgent and fun as the beer — Belgian waffles meets Basque brewing, dark and rich at 10.5%.

I built the shoot around the beer’s actual ingredients: Liège waffles, fresh strawberries and the can itself, with a bit of motion to keep it lively.

What I Delivered

  • Product photography of the can, styled with waffles & strawberries
  • A dynamic ‘splash’ hero shot for the launch
  • Behind-the-scenes of the waffle prep
  • Two short vertical campaign films (in production)

Why This Piece Matters

Make you taste it

For a pastry stout, the photography has to sell flavour — waffles, syrup, strawberry, the pour. The set was styled to do exactly that.

A collab worth showing off

Two respected breweries, one indulgent beer. The imagery gave both partners a launch set that travelled across markets.
