Kai Schwabe. Photography   Bremen food & drink photographers

"Taste can be seen! For more than 20 years as a food photographer, I have been playing with senses and have created delicious photographs for prominent exponents of the food and advertising industries. This includes recipe photography and recipe development, food photography, drinks photographs, food films and packaging and other promotional materials.

Together with my well-rehearsed team of food stylists and other professionals, I combine sophisticated craft with artistic aesthetics and the latest trends.

A 470m² large daylight studio in Bremen offers ample opportunities for this. Here, we can take photos with up to 100 megapixels and, thanks to our comprehensive artificial and film lighting equipment, can situate every delicacy in the proper light - including high-resolution effects and pleasurable slow-motion shots.

The spacious loft studio also offers room for a generously equipped show kitchen. This is where cooking professionals find everything their hearts and their food desires, in addition to extensive cooling and deep-freeze logistics to store ample amounts of food and keep it fresh. Props of more than 50,000 pieces of cutlery, tableware and glasses perfectly set the scene for food and drink."
