Food photography is more than capturing a plate—it’s about telling the story of flavors, textures, and craftsmanship. Being of French origin, I’ve always appreciated the importance of quality ingredients. Whether it’s the vibrant sheen of fresh produce, the marbled perfection of a steak, or the golden crust of a baguette, the foundation of any great dish lies in its components. My pictures aim to highlight this connection: the rich colors of seasonal fruits, the delicate layers of a mille-feuille, or the steam rising from a freshly prepared soup. It’s not just about presentation but the feeling food evokes—comfort, indulgence, or celebration. Whether it’s a Michelin-starred meal or a simple picnic spread, every dish has its own charm when seen through the lens.
The RF 50mm f/1.2L is definitely a beast—big, heavy, and pricey—but it’s worth every gram and cent for what it delivers. That insane sharpness wide open at f/1.2, paired with the dreamy bokeh, puts it in a league of its own. It’s not just a lens; it’s a creative powerhouse. You carry it for a…
Taking the RF100mm macro to a ramen spot? That’s next-level dedication! This lens is perfect for capturing the intricate details of a steaming bowl—glistening noodles, perfectly sliced toppings, and that rich, inviting broth. It’s amazing how a macro lens can make even ramen look like fine art. Bet those shots made the meal even more…
The pandemic has been especially tough on Tokyo’s beloved small restaurants—the hidden gems that define the city’s culinary soul. Their good food, affordable prices, and cozy, one-of-a-kind atmospheres make them irreplaceable, but many struggled to withstand the challenges. It’s heartbreaking to see these places disappear while larger establishments manage to weather the storm. Here’s hoping…
Green curry season is back at your favorite Shimbashi spot—always a good reason to celebrate! It’s fun to compare how the remodeling has changed the vibe. The new look might feel fresher, and the uniforms probably tie into that updated theme. That said, nothing beats a bowl of green curry that stays consistently delicious, regardless…
It’s great to hear things are slowly returning to normal in Tokyo! Being able to enjoy a short night out at a Sugamo izakaya must have felt like a little slice of pre-pandemic life. The cozy atmosphere, good food, and that first sip of beer—simple pleasures we’ve all missed. Cheers to more evenings like this…
Kakigori (かき氷) is a popular shaved ice desert in Japan. Quite often though, the ice looks crushed, not shaved. Now, that is a proper shaved ice. Look at how thin the ice is. And with the right topping (a mixture of strawberries and condensed milk is my case), delicious! By the way, the ice from…
One of the best ramen spots in Sugamo has to be 麺や いま村—flavors that leave a lasting impression! Now, with a different aperture, you can play with the depth of field to set the mood. Wide open (f/1.2–f/2) gives a dreamy bokeh, isolating the steaming bowl of ramen against a soft, blurred background. Stop it…
Café Kaila in Honolulu knows how to make pancakes that leave a lasting impression! Fluffy, golden, and topped with all the right extras, they’re a breakfast dream come true. Add in the laid-back Hawaiian vibe, and it’s no wonder they’re the best I have ever had. Definitely a must-stop spot on the island!
Simple Japanese delicacies one could easily enjoy before the pandemic. Miss those days!
Uni-don, a Hokkaido specialty, is a must-try for seafood lovers. Fresh sea urchin atop perfectly steamed rice is a true ocean-to-table delight. Pro-tip is spot on: the best uni is firm and has a creamy texture, not mushy or overly jam-like. A bite of Hokkaido’s finest, straight from the sea! 🥢🍚
The jewel of Hokkaido cuisine, Ikuradon, hits differently in its homeland. This one from Otaru gleams with vibrant orange salmon roe, piled generously atop fluffy white rice. Each bite bursts with salty-sweet freshness, like the ocean decided to spoil you for the day. Simple, local, and absolutely unforgettable.
This ramen from Sugamo isn’t just delicious—it’s got Michelin history. Rich broth, expertly crafted noodles, and flavors that earned it a star make it a must-try. If you’re in the area, treat yourself to a bowl that blends local charm with world-class taste. Highly recommended and worth the detour!
Kakigori, the ultimate summer indulgence in Japan! Fluffy shaved ice drenched in vibrant syrups or layered with fresh fruits and condensed milk—it’s as refreshing as it is delicious. Perfect for cooling off on a sweltering day while savoring a bit of Japanese tradition. Don’t miss it!
Stumbled upon a gem in Shimbashi serving mouthwatering curry! The spicy kick, fiery ambiance, and friendly waitresses make it a spot worth revisiting. Perfect for a flavorful meal with a touch of charm. Shimbashi never disappoints!
Finalizing 5G calls for a martini—shaken, not stirred, of course! James Bond style suits the occasion perfectly—sophisticated, bold, and a little iconic, much like the tech you’ve just wrapped up. Cheers to a milestone worthy of a secret agent’s toast! 🍸
Snapped a few shots in Athens while indulging in some delicious local delicacies. From freshly baked pita to creamy tzatziki, and of course, souvlaki straight off the grill, every bite was a treat. The vibrant markets and cozy tavernas made it all the more memorable. Athens is a feast for both the eyes and the…
Had to skip breakfast at home this morning because of the yearly (and mandatory) health check. After all that radioactive yogurt and tests, I was starving! Definitely looking forward to making up for it with a proper meal now.
