Hotel food photography

Food and drink photography for hotel restaurants and bars, including Boulevard 73 and SASS at Corinthia Bucharest, The Marmorosch and Maison des Arts. Mihai works on set with each kitchen team, from styling the plate to the final shot. Below, Chef Bogdan Alexandrescu of Dexter on working with him. For a menu, cocktail or restaurant shoot, contact Mihai Georgiadi.

“As a chef and food stylist, I see extreme attention to detail, a harmonious blend of colours and textures, and the emotion a plate carries as essential to showing passion and creativity.

But that is not enough to carry the full creative energy onto print, digital or any visual medium. Working with a talented photographer who shares the same values and emotions is as magical as it is rare.

After many personal and commercial projects with most of the food photographers in Romania and across Europe, I can say that working with Mihai gave my creations another dimension. He let me express myself freely on the plate, fully confident that the most important details were captured with skill, refinement and complete professionalism.

I warmly recommend talking to Mihai, for the person he is: he brings inspiration and good energy. His photo shoots are true masterpieces, as you will see for yourself.”
