Pieter D’Hoop is a photographer from Bruges, Belgium.
After his start as an independent photographer, Pieter quickly started focusing on food and restaurant photography. He soon developed his very own style, which is defined by extreme attention to detail and a very straightforward approach of the dishes and settings he is shooting.
He is not just a food photographer but likes to call himself a ‘culinary photographer’. Not only the food within a restaurant is important, but also the interior and people, in other words: the global surroundings.
Pieter had the pleasure and privilege to be a fly on the wall in many Belgian and Dutch restaurants, which at times allowed him to be a silent witness to the fantastic dynamics of how a restaurant works and operates from dawn till dark.
He often makes different reportage of the food scenery around the world.
