Food photographers in The United States

I’m a food photographer on a mission to make your taste buds drool—without the calories! I use lighting that could make a potato look glamorous. Each series of shots has its own quirky technique, from dramatic shadows to playful backgrounds, proving that food isn’t just for eating; it’s for posing too! I blend food and lifestyle like a chef mixes spices, creating mouthwatering images that say, “Eat me!”

Horticulturalist by education and profession exploring my passion for food photography and blogging about food. Born and raised in Poland, living in US for the past 23 years.

I photograph food the way I see it—moody, a little dramatic, and full of stories. Whether it’s a cocktail with just the right amount of mystery, a loaf of bread that looks like it belongs in an old-world bakery, or a dessert that demands a moment of appreciation before the first bite, I want my images to make you feel something. I’ve spent years refining my style—playing with lighting, chasing the perfect textures, and figuring out how to make food look like more than just food. My work leans dark, cinematic, and a little editorial, but at the heart of it, I just want to create images that pull you in. When I'm not behind the camera, you’ll find me experimenting with lighting setups, refining my styling approach, or crafting cocktails (for research, of course). I love the challenge of making food feel like more than just a dish—it’s a moment, a memory, a story waiting to be told. I love to make food look as good as it tastes.

I'm just a professional photographer who fell in love with the magic of F&B. Although I have my M.F.A. in Photography from SCAD and successfully ran a portrait studio for over 11 years, I am relatively new to the food photography world. Connect with me on instagram to follow my photographic evolution. Cheers!

Hi, I'm Mary Antaki a food photographer based in Massachusetts. I began my creative journey as an interior architect, where I developed a deep appreciation for composition, color, texture, and light. Over time, that same visual curiosity led me from designing rooms to styling food and gradually turned into a passion for capturing it through my lens. Today, as a photographer, I blend my background in design with a love for storytelling to create images that feel natural and inviting. Whether it’s a rustic table scene, a produce shot or a carefully plated dish, my goal is always the same: capturing not just the dish itself, but the mood and experience around it. When I am not photographing, you will find me in the kitchen, trying new recipes and exploring different flavor combinations.

My name is Misha Wong, a Clearwater-based photographer born in Cuba, drawn to stories that live in light and shadow. To me, food, family, and weddings all begin at the same place: the table — where connection sparks, traditions unfold, and love is gathered, toasted, and remembered. My work is rooted in feeling. I create imagery that is exotic, moody, edgy — a little off the beaten path. With a background in graphic design, I approach every frame with intention, composition, and artistry, transforming moments into visual experiences. I’m drawn to atmosphere — the warmth of a shared meal, the intensity behind a chef’s hands, the silence before “I do.” I chase what can’t be staged: the in-between, the honest, the alive. I don’t just take photographs. I turn light and shadow into stories people feel — and can’t stop looking at.
