Emilie Guelpa
A course by Emilie Guelpa
After working for some time in graphic design and art direction, Emilie Guelpa made the leap to food photography back in 2007. She started by sharing her images on the blog she created from scratch and quickly caught the attention of a wide audience. It is thanks to this hobby that she now dedicates herself full time to the thing she loves most, and collaborates with brands, chefs, restaurants, and even the publishing world and the media.
Her clients include prestigious names like La Grande Épicerie de Paris, Picard, the chef Cyril Lignac, and Marabout publishers. Emilie loves infusing her photographs with meaning, conveying unique stories, and transmitting her passion for cooking and the flavors she enjoys every single day.
