Photographer Clayton Hauck continues to blend art and atmosphere in his latest projects for The Meadowlark and Eater Chicago. For The Meadowlark’s new Ad Astra cocktail menu, Hauck captured a visually stunning collection inspired by the cosmos. It’s shimmering stardust, fiery craters, and interstellar hues, with each cocktail designed to launch your senses into orbit.
Meanwhile, over at Eater Chicago, Hauck turned his lens on the world of rum. While his first thought was a random Scott Galloway “Zacapa!” reference, his second thought was all the delicious rum cocktails awaiting him which proved a much tastier motivation.
Both shoots are a testament to Hauck’s playful spirit and eye for mood-driven storytelling, with images that serve up more than a good drink.
See some of the photos from both projects below. For more of Clayton’s work, visit his Workbook portfolio.
