Kai Schwabe appreciates good food and drink. A passion for painting and drawing fits perfectly alongside his current photography work, and he has spent a number of years successfully shooting for leading food manufacturers and advertising agencies. His clients include Mondelez, Budweiser, Galbani, Agrarfrost, Jacobs, Kellogg's, Milka, BelVita, Nordsee, Subway, Yoplait and more, who all appreciate his professional approach to layout and briefs along with his technical expertise.

Kai's 500 m² daylight studio is located in the centre of Bremen. A master of different lighting techniques, he can quickly create a range of subtle moods according to the individual needs of each client. Working alongside a team of talented food stylists and assistants he develops high quality images that appeal to the appetite.

Featured in this Showcase, Kai gives us an insight into his latest work with the theme 'fish', attempting exposures with extravagant lighting. The fish receive concentrated attention by superposing their intense colours on dark backgrounds. His new client Nordsee was so enthused by these lighting techniques that the company adopted Kai's style for the design of a new portfolio of premium-quality fish.
