I love creating flatlays. This flatlay was created during the Christmas season . It’s my sisters apple. Cranberry galette with a whiskey frangipane. I added the evergreens to create a holiday seasonal image .

Springerle Cookies. Since these cookies are very common during the Christmas season I tried to create a Christmassy holiday story around it. The sprinkle stands for snow and the wooden props should give a cozy magical mood .

I created this image for a local bakery . They wanted to get there signature focaccia styled and shot 3 different ways. This is a focaccia drizzled with a saffron star anis syrup, topped with vanilla cream cheese and a pear poached in saffron, cinnamon and star anis.

This is another image which a created and captured for a local bakery. The business wanted the main focus on the texture of the focaccia. The airiness and huge bubbles. I had to style the focaccia 4 different ways. 3 times savory and 1 time sweet.

My favorite thing is to tell a visual story with my captures. I love to experiment with different light setups, props in complementary or analogous colors that add a layer to the story I want to create. For this picture my light source was on the left side and also a little behind these beautiful crepes which highlighted perfectly the powdered sugar dusting and created a magical light and mood. This is a traditional Austrian sweet dish which we often enjoy at home.

I took that photo for a client. And since we Austrians can’t eat our Wiener schnitzel or therefore anything breaded and fried without some spritz of fresh lemon juice, I thought it would be a great way to add some movement to the capture but still drawing the eye to the food.
