My experience in food styling is mainly focused on commercials & still photography.

My love affair with food started many years ago. Writing, creating as well as showcasing every aspect of food and of course styling it, is what keeps me busy day to day. I always felt that food should look real and achievable, this is my motto and demonstrated throughout my work. 

In my recent book “Jak zaczarować stół”, I have been able to explore in depth, my own personal ideas and themes, which are central to my ethos: I believe that simple recipes coupled with beautifully plated food, are the key ingredients for every foodie.

Working on commercials has enabled me to discover my other passion, which is rather technical: working with motion control and speed cameras. It is such a joy to see food in the macro world; liquids and molten chocolate in slow motion are fascinating as well as alluring. Working with ice cream has been a real eye opener, there is so much preparation and due to the nature of the work, it can be quite challenging: I work with real products and mock-ups which are all prepared in my studio. Working with a wide range of clients such as Jeronimo Martins, Dr.Oetker, Hochland, Grupa Maspex, Carlsberg, United Biscuits, Wedel, Unilever, Nestle:  has taught me one important rule: expect the unexpected, you must be prepared for any eventuality. Their expectation as well as my own, is to deliver the highest quality of finished product, meticulous planning and preparation is essential and central to my work. 

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I love creating it! And I look forward to working with you soon.
