The Chestnut Bakery Photography

camille_line_detail
DSCF7063-Edit-3

Hello there!

I'm Maiko, it's so nice to meet you!

I’m the owner, recipe developer and photographer behind The Chestnut Bakery. It’s no secret that one of my greatest passions is photography – especially, food photography. I love creating food, styling it, and capturing that special moment about it. I started creating plant-based recipes and photographing them a decade ago. It quickly developed into my greatest passion and profession.

I truly believe every recipe and inherently the food has a story to tell – from the moment that food is planted to the moment it is served on a plate. It’s one of the things I enjoy most about food photography; to catch a special moment in each stage of its story.

Photography is one of the most important ingredients in the food industry – to be noticed and catch the eyes of the right audience is tougher than ever, and I know how difficult it is to stand out from the crowd.

My goal is to help brands, companies, publications, restaurants, cafes, and small business owners with plant-based friendly products or services who strive to make the world a better place achieve their goals by producing outstanding food photography.

See my portfolio

If you're a brand or company that has plant-based products or services that encourages plant-based lifestyle, I think we would love working together.

Some Fun Facts

  • I was working with a Fujifilm mirrorless camera before I got my Canon in 2019. It has been the biggest game changer.
  • I got into baking when I lived in London. I was vegetarian at that time and thought vegan baking was impossible.
  • I love taking photos with natural sun light - but since I invested in my artificial light, I've been loving the flexibility and consistency it gives me.
  • One of my obsessions is crystals - they are everywhere in my flat. Any crystal shops who want to work with me?

Hello my lovely friends! Soooo long! How are you? I hope you all are doing well. If you are in the TCB newsletter crew you probably already know but I had to take some time off from all blogging related things like baking, photography, Instagram, literally everything which was a hard thing😥
My health was not good for a few months, had lots of scans at the hospital and life was throwing so many other challenges. If you don't know I have an IT job and it's my dream to make TCB my full-time job. So in my head, not working on my blog = getting farther away from my dream so the stress was huge for me.
And today, the universe threw another huge challenge of the year and I'm almost defeated🤣
But! I tell myself this is the time to toughen up and do whatever it takes to reach my dream. I live in a small flat with not much space to bake and photograph, I don't have a huge kitchen or studio to show off on Instagram but I'm grateful that I'm able to share my creations with the world and everyone who tells me that they love my recipe, you make my day😌 So thank you for sticking with me, loving my recipe, and sending love to TCB!
I used to try to post on Instagram consistently, but with my current lifestyle it's unrealistic so I'm gonna take it easy and post occasionally but I promise I'll show up more since I sorted my health now. See you soon!
