Authenticity Thru Food Photography: Dive into Te'Kila Bar

In January 2024, Sine Haraya Advertising Corp embarked on a mission to capture the essence of Te'Kila Bar — a tequila haven on BGC Corporate Center Two, 30th Street, Bonifacio Global City — dedicated to delivering an unparalleled tequila experience. Setting up an on-site food photography studio, Sine Haraya aimed to immortalize not just the products but the entire ambiance of this unique establishment. A large hand-painted mural adorned the length of the walls, and a glass cellar displayed the largest tequila library with colorful handmade clay bottles stacked in rows from floor to ceiling.

Te'Kila Bar isn't just about serving tequila; it's about sharing the rich heritage and culture of Mexico with every guest who walks through its doors.
