Studio Stefanie Geerts is a commercial photo studio in Ghent, Belgium, specialised in food & drinks photography. With 20 years of experience, we photograph food, dishes and drinks so you can almost taste them: for packaging, campaigns, product launches, webshops and social media, throughout Belgium.

What is food photography?

Food photography is the professional and appealing portrayal of food, dishes and drinks, bringing taste, texture and quality to life visually. It is more than a beautiful picture: it is a visual story that highlights craftsmanship, ingredients and the identity of your brand.

Good food photography does what words alone cannot: it makes people's mouths water. It grabs attention on the shelf and online, builds trust and triggers the urge to buy. The more appealing a product looks, the more likely people are to taste, buy or order it.

What types of food & drinks photography do we offer?

• Packshots – Sharp, technically flawless product images for packaging, webshops and retail.
• Mood and lifestyle images – Your product in a styled setting that suits your brand and audience.
• Campaign images – Key visuals for product launches, posters and advertising.
• Recipe photography – Dishes and preparations for packaging, cookbooks, websites and magazines.
• Drinks photography – Beer, cocktails, coffee and other beverages, with full attention to glass, liquid and condensation.
• Social media content – Image series tailored to Instagram, LinkedIn and other channels.

Why choose Studio Stefanie Geerts as your food photographer?

• 20 years of food & drinks experience – We have photographed for numerous beer, burger, chocolate, ice cream, bread and biscuit brands. Chefs, chocolatiers and retailers are among our clients too.
• The right food stylist for every product – Every product category calls for its own approach. We choose the food stylist who fits it best.
• Light and texture as a craft – The right textures and lighting techniques, combined with our own post-production, deliver a recognisable, refined result.
• A signature style, yet any style possible – Our work is often described as 'very graphic, pared-back, with a focus on texture and colour palettes'. Our signature is a painterly, darker visual language with a timeless feel. Even so, we can deliver any visual style you ask for.
• We work within your visual identity – Using moodboards, we think along from the start so the images fit your brand seamlessly.
• Always high-end retouching – Every image is retouched in-house down to the smallest detail.
