    Culinary and Lifestyle Photographer for Organic Brands
    RESTAURANTS AND FOOD SERVICE
    May 2025 - June 2025
    As a culinary photographer, I created complete visual content that was warm, authentic, and engaging for six organic agri-food brands.
    My role was to enhance their products—whether breakfast options, prepared meals, or fermented products—by developing a consistent, natural aesthetic true to their values.

    Content of the mission:

    – Culinary photography focused on storytelling to convey the brands' universe and highlight product quality.
    – Visual enhancement of products through careful staging, natural compositions, and precise work on textures, colors, and lighting.
    – Creation of 5 HD photos (JPEG), including 2 culinary photographs incorporating a staged recipe to show the product in a real-life context.
    – Production of a simple Reel for social media to increase brand visibility and capture the attention of digital audiences.

    This experience allowed me to consolidate my expertise as a culinary photographer, combining creativity, attention to detail, and an understanding of visual communication challenges for brands committed to organic.

    Food Shooting for Fast Food in Périgueux
    RESTAURANTS AND FOOD SERVICE
    November 2024 - December 2024 (1 month)
    I carried out a complete photo shoot as part of a Packshot mission, including the capture of 50 products.
    This project aimed to produce high-quality visuals to enhance the products and provide a refined, consistent visual identity tailored to the client's needs.

    Detailed content of the mission:

    – Professional culinary photography: creation of images highlighting textures, colors, volumes, and product freshness.
    – Packshot production: shots on a neutral background for clear presentation, intended for e-commerce, catalogs, or communication materials.
    – Culinary photographer for restaurants: production of visuals suitable for menus, social media, and promotional materials.
    – Light art direction: choice of angles, minimalist or elaborate staging depending on the product, work on lighting to enhance materials.
    – Implementation of a complete workflow: preparation, equipment setup, shooting, selection, and retouching of final images.
    – Technical expertise: mastery of natural and artificial lighting, shadow management, colorimetry, and optimal image quality.

    Through this mission, I was able to demonstrate my versatility as a culinary photographer, my ability to produce a large volume of photos consistently, and my constant attention to detail to ensure a professional result.
