Kai Stiepel is a photographer based in Munich, specialised in food and drink photography.

For him it is especially important at the beginning of a production to properly understand the wishes of the customer. After that, a master plan is developed, which leads the whole team quickly to the finish line and also takes into account possible secondary uses of the motifs.

In addition to the classic advertising productions, he has great fun creating new image worlds in personal projects. He likes to work in a team with stylists and food stylists to develop a concept together.

He loves to set things in a scene to elicit emotions from the viewer. Besides food and drinks, he also loves to create still life that becomes alive through Kai's masterful use of lighting.
