Commercial Food Photography — Capturing Texture and Human Interaction
A commercial-grade visual series focusing on high-impact food styling and storytelling for the modern gastronomic market. The goal of this project was to move beyond static, sterile plating and instead trigger an immediate sensory response through dynamic composition.
The Human Element: By incorporating active hands breaking open crispy textures or drizzling sauces, the layout transforms from a simple product shot into an engaging, living experience.
Lighting & Textural Contrast: Engineered directional, high-contrast bar lighting to accentuate the condensation on glassware, the glazes on the savory dishes, and the crisp macro details of the ingredients.
Chromatic Harmony: Balanced warm, rustic wooden undertones with vibrant greens and rich tones to anchor the premium, comforting essence of the culinary experience.
Photography, Styling & Art Direction: Higor Coutinho

😍 Just published a new case study on Contra.
This one is a full identity system for Media Aesthetics — a consulting agency and media project focused on thoughtful editorial communication.
I built the identity from scratch: art direction, Cyrillic typography, color system, generative floral graphics, website design, social layouts, and motion references.
The core idea is an exothermic garden — a visual metaphor for media that grows, reacts, and takes form.
