Thank you, Team Zaya for taking your time to give my website a peep!
My name is Isacc Yi, and I am an Orlando photographer that takes great pride in translating a brand’s voice and personality into engaging photos, specifically food and beverage companies! I have really enjoyed the brand, personality, and product that you guys have created with Zaya, and I would love to create an opportunity for us to work together. When it comes down to the spirit and cocktails, I have always enjoyed the adventurous and fun personality that rum has introduced to the world, specifically within the realm of tiki.
What I love about your company the best is that it is more about the spirit of the bottle but also the spirit of the hands your product is in. Inspired by this I wanted to propose to you guys a concept that I would love to collaborate with you guys.
The general concept is nothing new, a bartender creating a cocktail with Zaya Rum, but the approach is. The goal will be to capture not only the creativity of them making a drink but to capture the spirit and personality of the bartender in their space with Zaya as the common thread in it all. From my experience, a good cocktail is more than a good recipe but the people that bring the amazing experience to the community.
The concept will have 3 parts:
1) The bartender making the drink
2) The cocktail they create.
3) The bartender with their drink and Zaya Rum within their space.
This project will be a mix of action, cocktail, and portraiture photography with a consistent style of imagery.
Orlando, Florida has an amazing cocktail scene and there are two bars that come to mind that I believe would fit into the story that you guys are telling.

At first, I would like us to start with highlighting one bartender and negotiate a trades of service agreement. As mentioned before, I love the branding that is behind Zaya Rum and believe this would be an amazing opportunity. Think of it as a test of concept. If everything turns out beautifully (which I believe it will), I would love to talk to you guys about expanding this concept to more bartenders and bars in Orlando, and maybe even across other cities.
I look forward to hearing from you guys and what you guys think of the idea!
