YOUR TEACHERS' WORK AS SEEN IN
No, …
… I didn’t graduate from culinary school.
Instead, I studied law for five years and got my master’s degree. However, photography, active lifestyle & kitchen has always been my happy place.
HOW A LAWYER BECAME A FOOD photographer & Yoga teacher? 
I have no idea. These two don’t go together very well. Probably it happened because I’m in love with photography for 10 years & cooking since childhood.
While I was still studying law and working in the law office, then I also worked part-time as a food photographer. In addition, I took photography courses at university.
Still, my heart has always been on food photography. After working together with clients & magazines all over the world, I decided that it was time to go full-time on food photography.
In addition, Since I used to do ballroom dancing and had a active lifestyle my whole life, then becoming a certified yoga teacher was a natural journey.
I LIKE TO THINK …
… that I’m at the beginning of my journey.
However, before I noticed my photography & recipes had been featured in a range of publications all over the world such as Thrive Magazine & Greatist.
For my surprise, I even managed to win international food photography awards & to do quite well on the world most prestigious food photography competition. 
Thank you!

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED WITH FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY?
Special gift …… in one condition!
My interest in photography began 10 years ago when I got my first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D90 which I got as a gift from my lovely father. I’m a very lucky girl.
It was a fantastic gift, but the only condition was that I had to take 200 different images every month. We are still laughing that I work as a food photographer since I have to shoot those images.
