04 / 04Sahel Summer Menu — Coral Beach Club
Coral Beach Club opens a new beachside venue every Sahel season and asked Magy Studios to build a forty-six dish photographic menu in five shoot days. The brand wanted images that felt unmistakably coastal — warm sea light, salt-bleached linens, citrus skins on stone — without leaning on tired flatlay clichés.

A small selection from this season.
We charge for craft, not theatre.
We do not glue. We do not spray. We do not ink. The food in our frames is the food on the plate, photographed at its most honest moment — which is also, almost always, its most beautiful.
We work the way a magazine works: slowly, with strong opinions, with a small team that has earned the right to those opinions.
