How I can help
From a single pack shot to a multi-day campaign, a tested recipe to a full production. Based in Cape Town, available on location.
Food Styling
Advertising, packaging, editorial and film.
Food that has to perform under lights, on a timer, and at whatever angle the brief demands — styled so it still looks like something you would want to eat. I work on set and on location, from single pack shots through to multi-day campaigns, and bring the technical cooking knowledge that keeps a hero dish looking its best from first frame to last.
Culinary Production
The whole kitchen side of a shoot, handled.
Sourcing, prep schedules, kitchen setup, crew, budgets and the dozens of small decisions that determine whether a shoot day runs calmly or not. I collaborate with agencies, photographers and directors as the culinary lead so the food is ready when the camera is.
Recipe Development
Recipes written to be cooked, not just photographed.
Professionally written, properly tested recipes built around a brand’s product and audience — approachable enough to be made at home on a weeknight, and structured so they hold together in print, on pack and on screen.
Television & On-Screen
Presenting, and food styling for broadcast.
Host of a multi-season Afrikaans cooking show, and food stylist on a range of other productions. That means I understand a food shoot from both sides of the camera — what a presenter needs in front of them, and what a crew needs to get the shot.
Private Dining
Intimate menus, cooked in your space.
Seasonal, considered menus for small gatherings and private events in and around Cape Town — the same attention to detail as a commercial shoot, aimed at a table instead of a lens.
