Hi, I'm Sofia Alarcón. Born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, I am a food photographer, food stylist, and trained chef with over 7 years of experience in the industry.
In 2021, I relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia with my husband. As is often the case with big life changes, the transition has been challenging, but I am thrilled about the opportunity to bring my experience, creativity, and passion to this new market.
Welcome to my world of food photography, where every image tells a story of health, well-being, and sustainability. I'm dedicated to capturing the beauty and essence of food that nourishes our bodies and respects our planet. My journey in food photography is driven by a commitment to work with brands that prioritize our health and the environment. I believe in using ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals and sourced sustainably. My mission is to highlight the importance of mindful eating and to support those who strive to make a positive impact on our world.
As a food waste warrior, I am devoted to minimizing waste and promoting sustainability in every project I undertake. I find immense joy in collaborating with like-minded brands that share my vision for a healthier, more sustainable future. Through my lens, I aim to showcase the efforts of these incredible companies and inspire others to join the movement.
Working with magazines like Edible Magazine allows me to shine a light on the unsung heroes of our community—those who work tirelessly to improve our well-being and protect our environment. Every story I capture is a testament to their dedication and a celebration of their achievements. It is an honor to feature these inspiring individuals and share their journeys with a wider audience.
Thank you for visiting my website. I invite you to explore my portfolio and join me in celebrating the beauty of food that is good for us and our planet. Together, we can make a difference, one photograph at a time.
