HI, I AM REKA CSULAK
founder of Three Pod Studio, food photographer & stylist, recipe developer, blogger and creative educator, working locally and internationally.
I found the biggest motif and passion in my life in gastronomy with a pinch of art.
I am Hungarian, living an ex-pat life in Finland, but I also lived in the United Kingdom and Sweden. I work remotely from my studio near Helsinki, and I happily travel upon request to capture remarkable frames around the globe.
I preserve the moment as a commercial food and product photographer, use my creativity as a food stylist and share my recipes and culinary stories as a blogger and recipe developer. The new chapter in my profession is the role of a creative educator and workshop facilitator.
My principles are uniqueness, exceptionality and fine details.

Who does’t love commercial images if the art director keeps the visual branding in mind when coming up with the creative concept? Reka designed the visuals for this Nordic rye ale in a way that the can appears in a frosty environment!

I shot the gin bottle in this cool environment of concentric circles and I took my sweet time to choose one of the endless options in product photography and post-processing, and the concept finally boiled down to this result so I executed my vision. I decided to utilise some illustrations to create the feeling of looking outside and seeing the silhouette of galloping deer in the forest.

I have a constant fear that something's always near...????????
Named after the similarly titled album of Iron Maiden, this roasted dark chocolate-flavoured English stout that is so good that you will crawl to the store to get one. I love the label design.
If you ever wonder what's wrong with my hand: nothing! I masked and painted a prop hand to look this creepy, so I did not have to crawl under the table to capture this scene, I added real smoke to create a cold night mist, and applied colourful gels to create the specific lighting.
- Who you gonna call?
