Christine Ma

Food Photographer and Stylist

About

I'm a food photographer based in Los Angeles. I work with CPG food and beverage brands, editorial publications, and content creators, shooting everything from product packaging to recipe content to social media campaigns. Before I was behind a camera, I was behind a stove. I trained at the Culinary Institute of America and spent over a decade in the food industry as a chef, recipe writer, and product developer. That background informs every shoot — I know how to build a dish, style it, and photograph it in a way that looks appealing and makes people hungry. Clients include PuraVida Foods, Lifeway, Carapelli, Artikaas Gouda, Spruce Eats, Eating Well, SusieCakes, Once Upon a Chef, and Taste of Home. I handle recipe development, food styling, prop sourcing, photography, and post-production. Services Food and beverage lifestyle photography, recipe development, editorial photography, shorts, and reels.
