Eskay Food
Italy
"I'm Roberto Corinaldesi, and I make food look irresistible for a living.
My style? Bold & graphic with a twist - because while I love a strong visual punch, I'm equally happy diving into completely different aesthetics. Versatility keeps things interesting.
Time, Light & Taste - my three golden rules. Catch the right moment, nail the lighting and somehow make people taste with their eyes. Trickier than it sounds.
I've worked with brands like Motta, Knorr, and Barilla (among others), photographing everything from melting chocolate to perfectly al dente pasta. Every project brings new challenges and that's what keeps me hooked. Whether it's advertising campaigns or editorial spreads, my job is to create images that don't just sit there looking pretty - they need to grab attention, tell stories, and make people hungry. Or thirsty. Or both."
