Michael Meisen’s latest and dearest project is his 2017 calendar, presenting stunning food photography exclusively created for this purpose.

Michael regards photography as a visual language, which he formulates through his enthusiasm for perfect light settings and his careful attention to detail. His visual approach is constantly expressed in both his personal projects as well as his professional work, creating a comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art food photography.

With the support of a professional team of stylists and food stylists, Michael shoots in his own studio or on location for leading advertising agencies and international companies, making use of a wide range of digital and analogue tools for photography, video shooting and post-production.

Michael is a member of BFF, Germany’s professional organisation for photographers and DOPs. Beyond Frankfurt, Michael is very well connected to rental studios in Zurich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin.

Michael Meisen's latest work includes the LSG Calendar 2016, featuring the latest trends by LSG Sky Chefs from destinations across the globe. Aside from such stunning international food-projects, Michael’s enthusiasm and attention to detail can also be seen in his packaging photography, not forgetting his sense of humour as shown in Belgian Joris Luyten’s 'Foodprint', the Jaarboek van de Gastronomie 2014.

Be it perfectly arranged photographs for delicious Erlenbacher’s pastries or a whole set of 70 shots for Mr. Farhad Golafra - author of a cookbook with an absolutely passionate approach to yogurt - Michael likes "telling the story with a surprising and creative edge!“ This is the way he also shot variations on coffee.

Michael shoots in his studio or on location in close cooperation with a skilled team of stylists and food stylists. He is also a member of Germany’s professional organisation for photographers and DOPs: BFF (Bund Freier Foto-Designer).
