Can Mete

Istanbul has been home to some incredible creatives who are reputable in the photography industry, and Can is a perfect example of one of those photographers. Graduating with a degree in gastronomy allowed Can a high degree of technical understanding of food, combined with creative photography skills. Skilled on and off the lens, Can uses his aesthetic eye in combination with his love of food to transform plates into art. A glimpse into Can’s portfolio shows a high diversity of flavors, interesting textures, and movement and motion. In particular, we love his outdoor work, which showcases the people behind the art of beautiful food and the actions they take to plate food to look just right for the photographs. Take inspiration from the work of Can Mete as he takes you on a culinary journey through his craft.
Monica Jiandani
Offset Portfolio
Gifted, cozy, and unique. Those are the exact words that we’d use to describe the work of Philippines-based food photographer Monica Jiandani. The creative combines her passion for food and creative ambitions, and as a result, she creates incredible imagery for clients on and off Offset. We love her Asian creations with beautiful chopsticks and plating. She modernizes traditional dishes to be relatable, consequently allowing brands to use her content online. What’s even more, when she isn’t shooting food the photographer dabbles in travel photography on her various trips around the world.
Chelsea Cavanaugh
Offset Portfolio
When you begin your career in the photo studios of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, you’re bound to pick up some expert tips. Chelsea did that, and then some. Furthermore, the accomplished photographer dove headfirst into the world of food photography on her own following that career start. This photographer has reputable food and drink clients around the world eyeing her work. Her work is simple, clean and, as a result, her subjects speak for themselves.
We absolutely love the way that Chelsea’s images tell stories on their own, due to an authentic perspective. Most noteworthy, her work contains no unnecessary details or excessive props that take away from the images. Because of her use of color, her imagery brings life to any content use you can imagine. Above all, her talent makes it hard to turn away from looking at her portfolio over and over again. When she’s not taking photographs, you can probably find her wandering gardens in Brooklyn to draw inspiration from nature and light. We all need a little creative break sometimes.
