About Me

Hi, I'm Angela Khebou, a passionate food photographer and recipe developer. My journey into the world of food photography began with a simple need to improve the visuals for my food blog. I took a class on food photography, food styling, and recipe development to further my skills. This newfound passion quickly outgrew my love for blogging, and I decided to pursue food photography full-time. Today, I not only create stunning food images and recipes but also promote other talented food photographers.

My Journey

Cooking and baking have been a part of my life since I was old enough to pull myself up onto the kitchen counter. After high school, I started working at a local bakery, where I honed my skills as a cookie decorator and head cake decorator. My husband, a professional French culinary instructor, and I also owned a pizza shop and bakery together. This hands-on experience in the culinary world has deeply influenced my approach to food photography and recipe development.

Professional Background

I am a dedicated graduate and currently collaborate with food bloggers worldwide. My expertise includes:

Recipe Development
Food Photography
Food Styling
Natural and Artificial Lighting
Editorial Food Photography for Bloggers

I have worked with several bloggers who have featured my recipes, images, and videos on their blogs and social media accounts. Specializing in gluten-free baking and whole food recipes, I focus on creating step-by-step guides that are accessible, seasonal, and delicious. My work has been showcased in various food-related publications and events.

My Passion

What I enjoy most about my work is capturing that perfect shot—the one that tells a story before I even start editing. I love working with natural light, despite its challenges, because it creates a beautiful ambiance that enhances the food's appeal. A memorable experience in my career was when I discovered the importance of design in photography. Learning from an artist outside my field, I realized that understanding the grid on my camera and applying design principles took my photography from a level 3 to a high 8 on a scale of 1-10. This breakthrough was truly transformative.

My favorite ingredients to work with are fresh, whole, and in-season. I believe in showing how simple ingredients can be transformed into delicious dishes.

My Approach

Before any shoot, I thoroughly research the dish, noting key elements and choosing the mood based on the season. For instance, I opt for warm and moody looks in winter and light, airy styles in spring and summer. I infuse my own tips and tricks into recipe development and include images that help readers understand the context.

My photography style is characterized by soft, deep shadows and rich colors that pop with flavor without being overly saturated. When developing a new recipe, I start with research to ensure the flavors and presentation are just right. The recipe is tested twice, and I provide step-by-step images and a video short to guide even beginner cooks.
