Food Styling.

I am an Amsterdam based prop and food stylist specialising in shootings for editorial, books, advertising and commercial use. I am here to help you develop the creative concept of the shooting, select the props aligned with the desired look, and prepare food and drink to look fresh, tasty and stunningly attractive to be photographed or filmed. With a deep understanding of colour theory and composition, my beautifully styled scenes highlight the vibrant colours and unique textures of food and beverages and create the right mood that truly speak your brand’s values to your audience in a consistent and appealing way.

Food styling project highlights

Cover styling for Foodies Magazine

I worked as a food and prop stylist on the 15th-anniversary special issue of Foodies Magazine. I took an active role in the process, from developing the visual concept to choosing the right props and creating the composition of each image. Through stunning photography and exquisite styling, we wanted to invite readers to immerse themselves in a world of luxury and indulgence, where every bite was a moment of pure bliss. I created an abundant dessert table where the colour palette was inspired by the lush beauty of the season, with a wide range of pinks from deep fuchsia to soft pastel pink.

Christmas Buffet shooting at Foodies Magazine

I worked as a food and prop stylist on the Christmas Buffet shoot for Foodies Magazine. I took an active role in the process, from developing the creative direction to choosing the right props and creating the composition of each image. We wanted to step out of the traditional red-and-green Christmas and, instead, aim for a modern, joyful, bold, and stylish feeling focusing on blue and pink. As the concept was ‘more is more’, I created an abundant table setting with colourful bottles, glasses, plates, trays and candle holders to reflect the article’s ‘Bring your own’ Christmas buffet topic.

Styling with flowers at Foodies Magazine

I worked as a stylist on the “Flower Power” shooting, published as a collaboration between Mooi wat bloemen doen and Foodies Magazine. I was responsible for choosing the right flowers for the modern Christmas theme, selecting the props and building a beautifully styled breakfast scene highlighting the hero ingredient: the flowers. Moreover, I provided styling tips for the readers on how they can style their own festive table with flowers.

Branded content for WMF at Foodies Magazine

I was the food and prop stylist on the WMF branded content shooting, which was published in Foodies Magazine. The photo shoot’s concept was to create a high-end coffee table that resonated with the brand’s core identity. We aimed for images where the product was visible but discretely placed and focused on the delicious pastry recipes that all included coffee.

Food styling for product launch at Mayoneur

I have collaborated as a food stylist with Mayoneur to create images for the launch of their new flavours on their website and in social media. We wanted to create dynamic images with pouring shots reflecting the social moments that a taco, sushi or barbecue time represents among family and friends. We created food and product photography with harsh light and shadows in a natural environment which resonates with the brand’s message. Food Styling: S’usi Gastro Studio / Photography: Uppix Studio

“Susi reached out to us this year and I immediately felt her calm and joyful personality. She did the styling of several shoots for our magazine this year. I’m always happy to work with Susi! She prepares everything super good with a moodboard and always double checks with us if her styling ideas match with our wishes. For the flower shoot in our Christmas Issue she not only did the styling, she also contributed to the article with her styling tips. Susi is super creative and flexible and I would love to work more with her in 2024!”
