Unique visuals

From the design of the space to the presentation of each dish, a strong visual identity enhances the overall atmosphere and elevates the perception of quality. Great visuals draw people in and tell your story.

Hi, I am Marieka


Transitioning from design to food and restaurant photography has been an incredible journey for me. As a designer, I was always captivated by form, color, and texture, but I found myself increasingly drawn to the artistry of photography. What began as a personal passion for craft, flavors and unique food places evolved into a career behind the camera.


When I started photographing food, I realized that my background in design gave me a unique perspective. I approach each shoot with the same attention to detail I once applied to design projects—thinking about composition, light, and the mood I want to convey. My goal isn’t just to capture a dish; it's to tell the story of the restaurant, the chef’s creativity, and the experience they want their guests to have.

Marieka is echt een aanrader. Ze stelt je onwijs op je gemak, denkt met je mee en maakt echt de meest geweldige eindresultaten. Wij hadden een fotoshoot met meerdere mensen, maar het ging echt heel goed. Iedereen was super tevreden, vond d'r onwijs lief en had totaal geen moeite om voor de camera te staan. Zeker niet twijfelen, echt leuk! :-)
