Restaurant photographer
I photograph dishes, chefs and dining rooms for restaurants. From bistro to three-star kitchen, across the Netherlands.
What I photograph
- Dishes and menu: images for your website, menu, press and guides.
- Chef and brigade: portraits and reportage in the kitchen.
- Dining room and atmosphere: interior, table and evening light.
- Social media: images made for Instagram and ads, per shoot or ongoing.
How I work
I work in your kitchen, at the pace of the brigade, without getting in the way of service. The plates come off the pass, not out of a studio.
A good dish is already a composition. My job is finding the light that shows it, and the moment the plate is still alive.
