Valeria Bismar Photography

Food, Lifestyle & Travel Photographer based in Italy

I’m a photographer based in northern Italy, where I grew up surrounded by good food and strong opinions about it. I lived across Australia, the UK, and Canada which shaped how I see the world, how I photograph it, and how I collaborate with people. Being exposed to different cultures has made this an ongoing, always-evolving process—and I bring the same curiosity and care to every project, big or small.

Over the years, I’ve developed a style that feels natural and adaptable, landing work with publications like the Wall Street Journal, Saveur, Condé Nast Traveler, Ten Speed Press, Assouline, La Cucina Italiana, and Michelin Guides, alongside collaborations with Booking.com, Shutterstock Studio, Mckinsey & Company,  Ogilvy, SAQ and many small businesses.

I also teach workshops and consult on visual strategy—I genuinely enjoy helping others find their visual voice.
