Cherry Li
Hong Kong - Beijing - Los Angeles - photographers
At age 13, Cherry Li picked up a camera and hasn’t put it down since. Fuelled by her passion to turn any mundane situation into an interesting story, Cherry went on to pursue a BFA in Photography from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Upon graduation, she moved to Paris to shoot fashion but ended up feeding a secret passion for food.
After more than a decade and a few moves across the globe, Cherry founded Cherry Food Studios, which is the only studio in Hong Kong to focus exclusively on food photography and video. She is constantly on on the road to wherever the assignment requires.
Her unique visual sensitivity and keen eye for detail has won her multiple professional awards and gained her clients such as Anchor New Zealand, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Travel+Leisure, Condé Nast Traveller, GQ, Malaysia Airlines, Dragonair, Wall Street Journal, Theme, Wallpaper, The Cleaver Quarterly, Qatar Airways, British Airways and Australian Gourmet Traveller.
