Food photography that makes people want to taste it.

Warm, natural food photography for small food businesses, photographed from my home studio and garden on Lake Zürich Switzerland.

Your food is beautiful in real life. Your photos should show that.

Your food tastes good and is made with lots of care, and looks far better in person than it does online. You are in the right place.

I create photographs that show the color, texture, ingredients, and feeling of your food.

What I photograph

Food, products and the details around them.

I photograph food and products for websites, online shops, menus, newsletters, press, and social media. That can include finished dishes, ingredients, packaged products, hands preparing food, simple table scenes, and natural images of the person behind the business.

  • Baked goods and desserts

  • Packaged food and drinks

  • Jars, bottles, tins, boxes

  • Ingredients and preparation

  • Recipes and finished dishes

  • Hands at work

  • Simple portraits to support the food story

How it works

You do not always have to travel to me.

If your products can be shipped, send them to my studio. I plan the images, style the food or product, photograph them, and deliver the finished files through a private online gallery. If the food needs to be prepared fresh, we plan the shoot around what is practical. Some clients may come to my studio, or I work on location.

My studio + Garden

A small studio, a real garden and plenty of ways to create.

My home studio gives me a controlled space for food styling, dark and lighter setups, backgrounds, and product scenes. Outside, the garden offers natural greenery, herbs, tables, and seasonal light for softer feelings. I do not need a huge commercial studio to make food look beautiful. I need the right light and props. I also live right by the lake, and at the back of the studio I have woodland with waterfalls to choose from.

Your difference

I want the food to feel real.

I am not interested in making every image look high-gloss finished until it loses its character. I like crumbs, steam, hands, texture, imperfect edges, and the little details that make food feel warm and inviting. The aim is simple: Photographs that make people stop, look, and want more.
