Morella Velazquez
Food Photographer, Food Stylist and Digital Marketing
Brighton, United KingdomAfter studying architecture and working for several years in the construction industry I decided leave it all behind and follow my passion for food. I started by creating The Taste of Calabria an import company trading as an e-commerce selling artisan Calabrian foods.
This continued with Mi Terruño Food a blog and youtube channel focusing in Venezuelan and Calabrian cooking. It is from these two main experiences that my passion and knowledge for food photography, digital marketing and website design came along.
These skills then translating in beng hired by several companies to work on their websites, digital marketing, strategies and photography.
"Food is my passion, love to eat, love to cook and love to capture the essence of food in beautiful photographs. Getting a beautiful food photo is not only about camera settings, but about getting up and close with the food you're photographing, understanding it and styling it to bring out its most beautiful essence and flavour... the best food photo is the one you can taste. We eat with our eyes, vibrant colours, textures and beautiful settings make us want to eat so why not have the most beautiful photos for your culinary creations... I've been fortunate to make my passion my job and this is what I do everyday...."
