For some reason, I’ve been receiving DM’s through Instagram from people asking me questions like; how long I have been photographing food for, or how I got into food photography. These messages always make me smile, especially the last one.
I still remember the day I got into food photography as if it was yesterday (that was almost 7 years ago!).
One day, while I surfed the Web, I came across a photo of food and for the first time when visiting a food blog, I didn’t pay attention to the recipe but the photo. I think it was then it happened, despite my poor knowledge of photography, I really felt food photography could be the creative journey I was craving for.
It’s amazing how life brings you new exciting things to be passionate about, to challenge yourself, to make you feel alive and be the best version of yourself.


And now…
BROWNIES!
I guarantee you that these brownies will be a real success; I made a batch to bring to work and everybody loved them so much that they’re still asking me for the recipe every day since then … so… here it is!
