Today, I'm excited to share this set of photos I took a few days ago.

A bakery hired me as a photographer and videographer to document a day of production at their establishment. To get these shots, we started very early in the morning, and I took photos while the chefs did their work, trying to be as non invasive as possible so as not to slow down their production.

I had the opportunity to document various processes, from kneading the dough to the final product:

It was a spectacle to watch them work, as they are all experts in what they do!

This bread is called "shell" and is the bakery's signature bread.

It was a two hour production that flew by very fast because I was alternating between shooting video and taking photos, always looking for the best possible angle for everything.

The next one is very famous in Venezuela and is known as "cachito":

After preparing everything, they usually store the prepared dough in a dark room while waiting for space in the oven for the next batch.

This is because they work with a single oven and always have it at its maximum capacity:

And this is what the finished bread looks like. It has a super beautiful and delicious golden color, characteristic of Andean bread:

After documenting the entire process in the production area and finally feeling that I had enough material, I was obviously left wanting to eat something, so I went to the bakery to buy some pastries:
