How Yaroslav Danylchenko Makes Food Feel Alive

Food photography is everywhere. But Ukrainian photographerย Yaroslav Danylchenkoย makes it fun again.

A piece of cheese with a glossy caramel glaze on top, reflecting off a black surface.

In his world, powdered sugar floats like snow, berries leap through the air, and cheese seems to pause mid-fall just for the camera.

Each image feels like you walked in at the exact right second.

A wedge of cheese with a smooth surface and a light orange color, adorned with a strand of red currants, resting on a reflective black surface.

Danylchenko directs food the way a great director guides an actor.

A smooth, golden dessert decoration resembling a stylized sail, with two vibrant red raspberries placed on it, against a black background.

Light, texture, and timing team up to turn everyday ingredients into tiny action scenes.

These are the photos that make you stop scrolling, because youโ€™re hungry, but also because the food looks like itโ€™s about to wink back at you.

We love the use of reflection, which gives the food objects an extra dimension.
