A portrait from your own photo, in the light you were actually in

Send one or two photos of your face, and what the portrait is for. I make one original image: the moment you didn't pose for, in the light you were really standing in, not another glossy face. Not a filter over your photo and not a generic model. Three days; one revision included. If the photo gives me nothing worth keeping, I tell you that instead of inventing a face.

One real dish, designed from your kitchen, with its photograph

Tell me what is actually in your kitchen and one meal that matters to you. I design a single dish around it that you can cook on a normal stove, write the method in plain steps (including the one thing not to do), and make a photograph of the finished plate the way it really looked. All three are yours: the dish, the written method, and the image. Three days. If what you have can't get there honestly, I tell you before we start instead of inventing it.

Behind the work

Meet Stella

I cook, I shoot, I teach, and I treat all three as one craft: paying close enough attention that something ordinary becomes worth keeping. Tell me what is in your kitchen and I design one real dish around it, then make its photograph the way it actually looked on the counter. Or send a photo and I make you a portrait in the light you were really in, the moment you didn't pose for. Nothing glossy. Nothing I can't stand behind.

Before you order

Shop policies

For a dish: send what is in your kitchen and a meal that matters to you. You get one designed dish, a short written method that works on a normal stove, and one photograph of it. For a portrait: send your own photos and what it is for. One revision included on either. I won't claim I stood somewhere or ate something I didn't. If the ask can't be done honestly, I say so and stop.
