Hey there! I’m Marzia—a passionate food photographer, recipe developer, and proud foodie with Italian roots, now based in the charming city of Klagenfurt, Austria. My love affair with food started way back in my childhood, where kitchen experiments were my playground. Fast forward to now, and I’m still as obsessed with culinary adventures, constantly exploring flavors from around the globe. And yes, I’m proudly in the 'pineapple does go well on pizza' club! 🍍🍕
When I’m not behind the camera or whipping up a new recipe, you’ll find me indulging in my morning ritual of both tea and coffee (why choose when you can have both?), taking my cat for a leisurely stroll in the garden, or treasure-hunting in vintage shops for that perfect find.
My work is all about bringing out the magic in food—whether it’s the simplicity of a juicy tomato or the decadence of a rich chocolate cake, I aim to make every dish look as irresistible as it tastes. But it’s not just about pretty pictures; it’s about telling a story. I’m passionate about helping food brands and restaurants like yours showcase their unique story and values through mouthwatering visuals and captivating recipes.
If you’re looking to craft your brand’s narrative in a way that resonates and leaves an impression, let’s chat! Check out my services below, book a discovery call, and let’s create something delicious and visually stunning together.
