My Career

I’ve not always been a food photographer. I taught some English lessons and worked as a makeup artist while studying Marketing Management. I designed and sewed clothes, made jewellery and become a fashion designer for Slovak local brand while being on distance studies. Then I worked as a Marketing Manager for multinational IT company when I finished my MBA. Later I moved to an airline business as a Head of Marketing. Finally, I reached my career peak – I’ve become a MOM – the most beautiful and difficult job ever! As time passed by, I needed to be creative again to feel happy and fulfilled. And food photography flourishes my mind and makes my heart sing. It incorporates everything I love – passion for food, creative mind, modern technology and marketing skills. I just adore it!

My Free Time

My free time belongs to my family but when I have a few minutes for myself, you can find me walking in the nature, exercising in the gym or having a bath. I love meeting my friends for dinner and chatting for hours. I never say no to a good movie, classical music or theatre show. And I enjoy learning and trying new things. The rest of my time belongs to hunting for ingredients, recipe development, cooking, baking, food styling and shooting. My thing is editing images during nights when everybody sleeps.

My Food

I like simple, fresh and healthy meals with loads of vegetable, wholesome grains, low fat meat and fish and variety of herbs. My blog Kitchenlove.sk is all about healthy cooking and baking with a modern twist. So when you are curious and want to cook or bake a super easy yet nutritious food, go ahead and visit my blog or Instagram. I’ll be happy to meet you there!

Testimonials

Face Yoga Institute

"Zuzka and I had a great time working together on the entire photoshoot. I was surprised by her absolutely perfect preparation, which I haven’t experienced with any other photographer. She came up with her own creative ideas as to what we could shoot and how. I was extremely happy with the shooting process itself as well as with the final images. I definitely recommend Zuzka and hope we will shoot something nice together again in the future" 🙂

PS: Digital & Sedita

We collaborated with photographer and food stylist Zuzana on a beautiful project for the client Sedita. From the first communication, I knew that she approached the project responsibly, precisely and was looking for the best solutions. Although we had a demanding request to prepare a real cake from Sedita wafers, Zuzana elevated it to a completely different level and created a beautiful three-tier layered cake, which became the key visual of the entire campaign. I especially appreciate her helpfulness, work flexibility and friendly communication, thanks to which our cooperation went very well during the preparation phase as well as photo production. The end result, whether it's still visuals or stopmotion video, says it all.
