Where your food brand cooks
Our studio is the beating heart of Foodphoto. Concept, styling, photography and videography fall into place here like puzzle pieces. In four fully equipped kitchens we run several food productions at once, every day. Our modular sets change swiftly with every new concept. However wild. Go on, challenge us.
The set-up
This is where brands build a consistent visual identity, with all the room and freedom to experiment. The washing-up afterwards? We’ll take care of that.
What our clients can expect here:
- Four daylight studios. Several productions? Side by side? Won’t stop us.
- Professional kitchens. Need an oven? Stove, blender, deep fryer? Just say the word.
- Professional cooling and freezing facilities. Perfect for fresh ingredients and frozen products.
- High-end lighting and camera equipment. Everything to get your product pin-sharp on screen.
- Hundreds of backgrounds. Surfaces, textures and materials for every brief.
- Styling props. A serious collection of tableware and accessories, built up over decades.
The people
Foodphoto has been refining the craft of food and product photography for almost forty years. Food content at this level is never the work of one person. And we’re proud of that. Our work is the result of a whole team that thinks, makes and solves problems together. Always in good company, too. Partly thanks to Ollie, our office cat.
From the very start
Foodphoto was founded in 1988 by Luk Thys and is led today by Seppe Thys. The starting point hasn’t changed: making rock-solid food content for brands. Always with an eye on the future. And a wink, where possible.
No empty words, promise. In the 80s we were the first studio to switch from film to pixels. People called us crazy. Then from photo to video, with the rise of short-form content. In other words: at Foodphoto there’s always room for experiment and evolution. We’re not afraid to move with the times, and our food brands benefit from it.

Lisa V
Senior Photographer
Photography runs in the family (thanks, Dad). With 15 years behind the camera, steady hands, a sharp eye for detail, and a strong conviction that a shoot should never be boring. The photos are always on point — the drama stays behind the scenes.
Being the mom to a young son, patience and the ability to work efficiently under unpredictable conditions are thoroughly field-tested.
Also deadlifts Kieran and jumps 75cm, which is not directly relevant, but feels important to mention.
Note: on rare occasions, food may have accidentally been eaten before the shot. We do not talk about this.

Professional fixer of things that looked easier in the briefing.
I bounce between editing, retouching, VFX, behind-the-scenes content… and whatever challenge nobody else wants to touch. Think of me as the studio's Swiss Army knife.

Believes every dish has a good side. Just stopped by the studio to take a look, got drawn in by the food and stayed for the people. Usually behind the camera capturing dishes at their best, and occasionally trusted to do the same for brides and grooms.

Margaux
Stylist - Art director
Untraditional problem-solver and unofficial playlist manager on set.
Powered by cappuccino, music, an unhealthy obsession with Sardinia (and nicotine), I somehow turned a background as a chef into a career moving food around until it looks just right and I love every minute of it.
A little intense, maybe (Italian roots, what can I say?) happiest on a busy set surrounded by the team, followed by an after work aperitivo.

Wandered into the studio one day and somehow never left. My shopping cart is basically my office — on set styling food, in a grocery aisle, or deep into a fridge at any given moment.
Food stylist by trade, pâtissier & graphic designer by training, and a collector of hobbies by nature: upholstering, weaving, baking, and swimming fill the gaps — if there are any.
