Cherry Li found her passion for food photography through her profound love of food. In 2006, immediately after receiving her BFA in photography from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Cherry moved to Paris to eat.

Soon after, she began experimenting with food in the studio, leading up to her current long term documentary projects featuring foods from non-mainstream cultures across the world.

She now finds herself travelling in China, California, Hong Kong and anywhere her assignments take her.

Cherry's unique visual sensitivity and keen eye for detail have won her multiple professional awards and gained her clients such as Anchor New Zealand, Lady M, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Travel+Leisure, Condé Nast Traveller, GQ, Malaysia Airlines, Dragonair, The Wall Street Journal, Theme, Wallpaper, The Cleaver Quarterly, Qatar Airways, British Airways and Australian Gourmet Traveller.
