Salut! I'm Emilie
You'll usually find me working from my home studio in Winchester, UK. Coffee in hand, cat nearby, and camera at the ready.
Though French by descent, I grew up in South East Asia - an invaluable experience being surrounded by diverse cultures, flavours, and aesthetics. With 10+ years under my belt in the creative industry (I'm a hybrid designer to boot), I've always had a creative, process-driven mindset. But I fell in love with photography much earlier, dabbling in everything from travel to weddings. It was my passion for food and eye for detail that led me to specialise in shooting for product, drink, and culinary brands.
My aim? To create imagery that makes people stop scrolling and think, "I want that." Whether it's the condensation on a chilled glass that says 'refreshing' before you even take a sip, or the texture of a handcrafted product you can almost feel through the screen or on a page, I capture the details that make your brand feel tangible and desirable. I combine strong visuals with thoughtful styling to create images that feel authentic and compelling. For food and drink clients, I also love crafting simple recipes that let your product shine - perfect for showing both function and flavour in action.
I work with small businesses and emerging brands who care about quality but don't have corporate budgets. If you're pouring your heart into what you make, I want to help you show it off. And that's where my studio name comes in - adding that little bit of zest for extra impact.
Want to work together? Drop me a message - I'd love to hear about what you're creating.

My approach
The creative process begins with a thorough understanding of your vision and objectives. While I’m happy to work to a specific brief, my signature style leans toward clean, textured, and thoughtful vibes. I collaborate closely to conceptualise ideas, plan the shoot, and select the ideal props and settings - if not already set out in your brief or brand guidelines.
During the shoot, I focus on capturing the essence of the subject, highlighting its unique features, textures, and colours. Post-processing ensures the final images meet your expectations and align with your brand identity.
Let's bring your vision to life!
It always starts with a chat, email or phone call, I'd love to collaborate and help create stunning creative assets for your online and/or social media needs.
