Lenka Selinger is a photographer and food stylist who specializes in creating stunning culinary photos. She started this journey thanks to the food blog she kept while she was doing her PhD in neuroscience, as she spent her free time inventing new combinations and textures in the kitchen. This motivated her to further explore photography and experiment in the same way with visual combinations.
Years later, what had started out as a hobby became her profession, leading to collaborations with brands such as El Charro, Earth & Mama, Biochef, Magic Linen, and many more. She has also worked different jobs in advertising, creating images for magazines, restaurants, and cookbooks, and has even been recognized as the best food photographer in the world.
