About me

My name is Dennis Baljé 

Welcome to my website. I'm a full time chef and freelance photographer, designer, and retoucher based in the Netherlands. I've worked for 37 years in the hospitality industry as a chef and have been doing photography for about 20 years. In the beginning I was just shooting landscape, wildlife, and portraiture but have slowly switched to food photography. As a chef you work daily with beautiful products. I started to shoot photos of the dishes I created even in my spare time. I love to create an awesome dish and then shoot it in the best way possible. Take a look around.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.
