Eating

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.

Amour Ebisu

Amour Ebisu

Had an amazing dining experience at Amour, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ebisu. The delicate fusion of French and Japanese cuisine was beautifully crafted, reminding me of the excellent Sa.Qua.Na in Honfleur. Every dish was a treat for the senses—definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!

Cute Donut

Cute Donut

Cute donut: visually adorable, but the taste? Not that great. Pretty much what I expected, to be honest. Sometimes the looks outweigh the flavor, but hey, at least it made for a fun picture!

Hot Pot

Hot Pot

What would a trip to China be without a hotpot? It’s a must-try experience, and this time, it included some tasty (and by tasty, I mean flavorful—not making any judgment here) cow stomach. A unique texture and flavor that definitely adds an adventurous twist to the meal. Hotpot never disappoints in delivering surprises!

Seared Tuna

First lunch in Hangzhou: hunger won out, and I didn’t venture far beyond the mall. It turned out to be one of the few “clean” meals of the week—simple, satisfying, and exactly what I needed to recharge after arriving. Sometimes convenience wins!

Fresh Pasta

Fresh Pasta

Fresh pasta in Kagurazaka—a delightful new discovery! Handmade and perfectly cooked, it’s a treat to find such a gem in this charming neighborhood. A great spot for Italian comfort food with a touch of Kagurazaka’s unique vibe. Definitely coming back for more!

Yakitori Night

Yakitori Night

Yakitori night with two French dads from the school—a perfect mix of good food and great conversation. The smoky flavors of grilled skewers paired with lively banter made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Nothing beats a casual night out like this!

Shin Minami Exit

There are some great bars and restaurants around the new south exit in Shinjuku. The area combines modern design with a laid-back vibe, offering a variety of spots to grab a drink or enjoy a meal. Whether you’re in the mood for Japanese cuisine, international dishes, or just a quiet bar to unwind, this updated…

Out with XT2

Out with XT2

First night out with my Canon replacement, the Fuji X-T2—not bad at all! The camera handled low light beautifully, with sharp details and rich tones. The compact size and retro design were a pleasure to work with, and it’s definitely shaping up to be a great choice. Excited to explore its full potential!

Amazake

Amazake

Just when I thought I could enjoy a peaceful cup of Amazake in Hakone, a bus pulled up and unleashed a horde of noisy tourists. So much for a quiet moment! Guess I’ll have to savor the Amazake and tune out the chaos.

Ryokan Food

Ryokan Food

Staying at a nice ryokan always means the chance to enjoy incredible, carefully prepared food. However, I do wish there were more breakfast options. As much as I appreciate the traditional salty dishes like grilled fish and pickles, I just can’t handle them first thing in the morning—I need my coffee and bread to start…
