Still life of a chair with the produce of autumn; a salad of fresh figs and walnuts. The last sliver of light just catches the chair, but otherwise the room is dark. The reddish tones add a warm glow to the scene.
This atmospheric image will look great on the wall at home, in the restaurant or in a café.

Just as the writer works multiple storylines into his novel, the composer composes a symphony with different instruments and a painter fills his blank canvas stroke by stroke, I too work on my food photographs: layer by layer, the image is composed until the perfect balance between reality, design and atmosphere emerges. Every element in the image is a decision and contributes to the story the photo wants to tell or the atmosphere the scene exudes.
For my photographs, I like to use natural light, especially light falling in through cracks and holes. With that incidence of light and shadow, I try to enhance the character of my images.
A food photo requires several disciplines: a chef, art director, food stylist and photographer work together to create an overall image. As a culinary editor and chef, I write and cook my own recipes. I also take care of the styling and do the photography. Because I control the entire process, I can put together the mood image I envision without compromise.
