Brief Summary
Jean Cazals is one of the world’s leading food and lifestyle photographers. He was the first winner of the iconic Pink Lady®Food Photographer of the Year Award and has photographed over 90 cookbooks for some of the biggest names in food, from Jamie Oliver to Thomas Keller, Phil Howard, Raymond Blanc and many others.
Nothing gives Jean more pleasure than shooting food, styling and creating beautiful images with a strong identity for his long list of clients.
Jean has a great sense of detail and his use of soft lighting and graphic images always bring the best out of food for advertising, editorial, PR and increasingly restaurants and brands.

His eye and many years’ experience in the field will bring invaluable insight to all types of projects.
