Michelle Parkin

FOOD & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

About me

Michelle Parkin is a Cape Town based food & lifestyle photographer who loves doing her own styling too. With a degree in Graphic Design and international hospitality experience it is a match made in heaven!

Second to photography, cooking and recipe development are her other great loves, so it was only natural for these passions to come together and launch her food photography career in 2012.

She has a great eye for detail as well as an obsession for proper seasoning & balanced compositions.

If she is not behind a camera, you will find her baking or cooking and posting to Instagram about it.
