Food
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.

Green Curry
Green curry season at my favorite place in Shimbashi. The shop has been remodeled by the way. Compare the colors and uniforms between now and before with the two photos below.
Kakigori
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…
Delicious Ramen
One of the best ramen in town is in Sugamo : 麺や いま村. OK, I give you the same thing but with a different aperture.
Edamame Cheers
