About Me

Hi, I'm Larisa! I'm a commercial food, beverage, and still life photographer in the New Jersey and New York City area.  

I'm passionate about food. I love learning about it, making it, sharing it, and eating it. Growing up in the port city of Odesa, Ukraine and later NYC gave me exposure to amazing food from all over the world. Food photography allowed me to capture my passion in a more permanent way, even with those who weren't at my dinner table.

I gravitate toward bright, colorful, and whimsical images that have a sense of humor. Expect random facts and bad puns when working with me. We can do some seriously good work together, but not take ourselves too seriously. 

When I'm not photographing food or collecting new photo props, I love traveling and sneaking veggies into my husband and two children. We live in Central NJ and have some pretty amazing fresh produce available from local farms.
