Portrait of Mariafernanda Sarmiento A. holding a camera
Hi, I’m Mariafernanda.

Gastronomy & pastry photography
that makes people hungry.

I’m a Munich-based food photographer (available worldwide) creating bold, clean visuals for chefs, restaurants, and brands—crafted to stop the scroll and sell the story.

My approach

Where craft meets appetite.

Every shoot starts with one goal: make the food feel irresistible. I work with light, texture, and styling details to create images that look delicious and read clearly across web, menus, and campaigns.

From pastry close-ups to chef-led kitchen stories, I keep the process calm and collaborative—so you get a gallery that feels true to your brand and ready to publish.
