Dog Food Stylist Works with Puppies for Just Food for Dogs 🐾

January 17, 2025 by Food Polka

Working with puppies 🐶 for the Just Food for Dogs brand has been one of the most fun projects I worked on in 2024. It’s not just about the shoots or the campaigns; it’s about the magic of being surrounded by these incredible creatures. Two years ago, I lost my beloved dog, Jack. He was my companion for 17 years, and to this day, I haven’t brought another dog into my life. Jack was irreplaceable. However, my work allows me […]

Mediterranean food photography for Green Olive fast casual restaurant chain 🌯

September 5, 2024 by Food Polka

I recently had the pleasure of working with The Green Olive, a Southern California-based fast-casual restaurant chain and catering service, to completely reimagine their visual branding. They came to me with the goal of capturing their Mediterranean dishes in a new light—literally. The challenge was to create Mediterranean food photography that stood out with crisp, hard lighting and a beautifully styled aesthetic that reflected their unique offerings while setting them apart from competitors 🥗 As the creative director and photography […]

Lifestyle in Motion: Moms and Kids Enjoying Annie’s Brand Products

July 3, 2024 by Food Polka

Last year, I had the pleasure of collaborating with my photographer friend Jayme Burrows on a lifestyle product photography featuring products similar to peanut butter and nutella but made without nuts, specifically designed for people with nut allergies. Our creative goal was to authentically integrate kids with food product into the images. This shoot made me realize how much warmth and humanity is often absent in modern food photography. Many products are depicted in a sterile, editorial style, placed on […]

Social Media Content Production for Food, Beverage, and Hospitality Brands

June 27, 2024 by Food Polka

When I browse Instagram—usually out of professional curiosity— and I click on an ad that catches my eye, I instantly get targeted by 1000 similar brands and products looking for lookalikes 💥 (read more about this in my article The Food and Beverage Marketers Scarcity Mindset Breeds Scarcity of Results) Ironically, even though I create ad campaigns and produce content for a living, I rarely buy things I don’t need. However, I continuously observe how these ads work in the […]

My Food + Beverage Branding & Advertising Insights

January 24, 2023 by Food Polka

I’ve been loving the world of food and beverage branding and advertising since my childhood in communist Poland, where I maniacally collected and studied Western CPG packaging and ads. After earning an MA in sociology and studying human behaviors and persuasion, I worked with food and beverage CPG consumer focus groups and market data analysis. My creative calling and instincts eventually led me to my current endeavors in Los Angeles where I produce food and beverage advertising content and media, […]
