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.

Time for a delicious curry at my favorite Thai restaurant. There’s something about the balance of sweet, spicy, and creamy in Thai curry that I find irresistible—somehow, I even prefer it to Indian curry.
