7 Delicious Cheesecake Recipes And Photographs for ELLE Gourmet Magazine – Food Photography, Styling and Recipe Development

Food Photography and Recipe Development for ELLE Magazine

I have been a regular Food Photographer and Recipe Developer for Spanish Magazine ELLE Gourmet for the last few years. ELLE Gourmet is one of the many publications from ELLE. Every 3 months, ELLE Gourmet comes up with all the latest food trends, ideas for dinner parties and recipe inspiration.

Working as a Food Photographer During Lockdown

In Spring 2020, amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, ELLE Gourmet asked me to create several cheesecake recipes and their corresponding images. The setting was a private garden environment.

I developed, styled and photographed 7 delicious recipes in total. One of the photographs, the lemon and meringue baked cheesecake on the left, was chosen for the magazine cover.

Interestingly, this number of the magazine was available online free of charge to help bring the spirits up during the severe lockdown in Spain.

Here are some of the other images published in that issue.
