Bio

I'm Lydia Argilli, a food photographer and visual storyteller based in Siegen, Germany. With a background rooted in creativity and an eye for composition, my passion lies in transforming everyday ingredients into captivating, artistic imagery. My work is focused on natural textures, bold colors, and authentic light to highlight the beauty of food in its rawest and most emotional form. My photography is not just about showcasing recipes — it's about evoking a feeling. Whether it's the velvety softness of a ripe banana peel, the intricate patterns of cabbage leaves, or the joyful chaos of flour-dusted baking moments, I aim to make people pause and look closer. I want my audience to feel the warmth of a homemade meal, the crunch of fresh produce, or the comfort of a child’s favorite treat. Through my Instagram account @recepis.sk, I've built a growing community of food lovers, visual creatives, and fellow photographers who appreciate the detail and emotion behind each frame. I often share behind-the-scenes insights, styling tips, and glimpses into my process — from planning a shot to playing with natural light and shadows. My website foodfotografiesiegen.com is the hub for my professional portfolio and client work. It showcases a wide range of projects — from editorial-style recipe shoots and vibrant flat lays to soulful storytelling series. What sets my work apart is a genuine love for the small things — the details often overlooked. I believe that food photography is more than aesthetics; it’s about creating connection, sparking memory, and honoring the craft behind every dish. Whether it's for social media, cookbooks, or brand campaigns, I approach each project with creativity, precision, and heart.
