I’m Pieter D’Hoop, culinary photographer and food lover.
I don’t like the word food photographer because for me there is more to photograph than just food on the plate. Capturing the atmosphere, the products, the people, from chef to dishwasher.
I like to focus more on small details, and isolate them from their surroundings.
I'm an ambassador for fujifilm and nanlite. But I work with different techniques to light up my pictures.
I always work in the restaurant and make the pictures next to the chef.

Oyster, celery, mustard flowers, frozen "pakt" flavors. Created by two michelin starred chef Nick Bril from restaurant The Jane in Antwerp (Belgium).
Close to the restaurant they have some roof gardens where they grow a lot of different herbs and flowers that are used in the dishes. Those roof gardens are called "Pakt".
Image made with the fujifilm GFX100 and GF120mm F4 lens. I've used daylight and had some last sunrays just before the sunset. So I've had to be quick to make sure everything turned out perfect.
