Food Photography & Video

For cookbooks, magazine editorials, advertising and print campaigns, restaurants, hotels and hospitality, social media and websites.

Over the past years, recipe and food videos have become a growing focus of my work, from reels and short-form content to full recipe films for brands.

Food Styling & Recipe Development

From the first idea to the finished, styled dish. Together with food stylists, chefs and bloggers, I develop, style and photograph recipes. Every recipe is tested and refined, so it doesn't just look good, it works and tastes delicious too. In Vienna, I often work with Sophie Kovacs and Brima Foodstyle.

Props & Set Styling

My prop collection grows every week: vintage tableware with a story, handmade ceramics, modern pieces and special finds from around the world. I travel a lot and always save half a suitcase for new props. I also make my own ceramics, so I can create the right piece for any setting.

Props are always included when you book a shoot with me, and they are also available to rent for other productions, events and dinners.

Lifestyle & On Location

Beyond the studio, I shoot on location: in restaurants, hotels, bars, vineyards and gardens. People, places and food stories.

Studio K, my studio in Vienna

Most of my studio shoots happen at Studio K, my daylight loft in a historic Biedermeier building on Kandlgasse in Vienna's 7th district. Tall arched windows, a well-equipped kitchen, a wide selection of backdrops and a long table for the whole team: recipes are developed, cooked, styled and photographed under one roof, with a room full of props.

Studio K is also available to rent for shoots, workshops and private dinners.
