Mona Lorenz is an Austrian photographer who brings a refined, artistic lens to the worlds of food, still life, and lifestyle. A graduate of Vienna’s “Graphische” photography college, she set out into the world with a camera in hand and curiosity in her heart — collecting impressions, atmospheres, and visual stories across continents.

In 1995, she co-founded a studio dedicated to food and still life photography — a natural extension of her lifelong connection to the culinary world. Raised in the kitchen of her family-run hotel, Mona’s earliest memories are infused with the textures, colors, and rituals of food — experiences that continue to shape her visual language today.

For over two decades, her lens has returned again and again to the poetic details of everyday objects. With a deep sensitivity to composition and light, her images elevate food beyond function, transforming it into narrative and atmosphere. Her work is sought after by advertising agencies, editorial teams, book publishers, as well as clients from the culinary and trade sectors.
