tartelette's photostream
|
A former pastry chef with a Masters in History, I moved from France to the US in 1998 with a suitcase and the family's old film camera.
Photography resurfaced years later, when I quit my restaurant position and founded the award winning blog Tartelette.
Knowing that food had to look as good on screen as it did in real life, I dedicated myself to the art of food photography and food styling.
My photography is a blend of my passion for seasonal fresh ingredients as well as my love of travel and interest in people.
I currently live in Charleston, South Carolina.

Thank you for sharing your work, it's truly amazing stuff!"13th January, 2009

kitchen-mom says:
"She makes the most beautiful pastries I've ever seen, everything is so elegant and inviting, her photography skill is just as wonderful as her baking skill. The word "perfection" is used often by commenters (and by me of course) to describe her pictures and pastries.
Helen, you are one gifted pastry chef, keep up the good work and keep feeding our eyes with your magnificent work. You're an inspiration!"11th June, 2008
