Background

About Andre Lafleur

I am Andre' LaFleur, a professional photographer based in New Orleans, LA. I specialize in commercial and editorial food photography, product photography and food styling. I also do portrait and event photography and enjoy the chance to do something different from my daily work. I will always consider a job that doesn't exactly fit my niche. It's fun to do something different every now and then. Developing an early interest in art and photography, I feel that I bring a natural sense of style, color, and composition to all of my work. I have a keen eye and everything that I put into frame has a purpose. My style can be considered minimal in that I leave the subject almost untouched. I utilize composition and lighting techniques I have learned over the years to highlight features that stand out rather than bringing them out in post. I also like to keep colors bright and true. I have an ability to make food shine with my meticulous use of light and shadow to highlight the wonderful textures found in food. For five years, I worked professionally as a chef before taking on a career in photography. While working in the restaurant industry I gained comfort with food, the cooking process, and the people who create food. I find this gives me a unique insight into what makes food look great.
