Fareph
As a food photographer with a portfolio spanning over 120 restaurants, bars, and bakeries across various countries, I bring a global perspective to capturing the art of cuisine and cocktails. My work is dedicated to highlighting the vibrant colors, intricate details, and rich textures that define each dish and drink.
I believe that exceptional food and cocktail photography should do more than just look beautiful—it should evoke the aromas, flavors, and emotions tied to each creation. Whether it’s the delicate layers of a gourmet dessert or the visual drama of a perfectly crafted cocktail, my images are designed to transport the viewer into the moment.
With a passion for storytelling through visuals, I strive to make each shot a sensory experience that connects deeply with the audience. I am excited to share my work and contribute my unique perspective to this community.

Capturing the essence of the restaurant using one of its reflective black tables, which contrasted with the reddish tones of the cocktail. In general, we try to avoid reflections in food photography, but here we were literally trying to achieve them.

What really caught our eye here was the color palette of the dish, and we thought: what if we pull up the restaurant’s own curtain and use it as a backdrop? Sometimes playing around with the elements of the restaurant can lead to really beautiful results.

Nothing says summer like Aperol Spritz and mozzarella sticks.

Freezing motion with a single flash
We always enjoy freezing the action to convey the diner's experience in the restaurant. The colors matched the mood of the scene.
116th Collection
It's not easy to capture fire on plates this large. A huge Himalayan salt slab, mixed with tequila and high heat, allowed us to capture this striking image after several attempts. Was it worth it? Absolutely!
115th Collection
We always tell our students that sushi is one of those dishes that can never be missing from your food photography portfolio. This time, we captured this beautiful and colorful maki, highlighting its textures and colors.
