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.

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.
… I do content magic for brands to stand out. I hope!
