Molly DeCoudreaux is a photographer based in San Francisco. A personal interest in food culture drives much of her work and she enjoys creating lifestyle photography that communicates the essence of a brand's story. She is happy to welcome work-based travel back into her life and loves to travel for both client and editorial work. With a preference for being on-location, Molly works collaboratively to respond to the environments in which she shoots, capturing the moment through nuance and gesture. Her special sauce is in the balance of observation and direction.

As a Bay Area native, Molly has deep connections to the Northern California food & restaurant community in addition to small business owners, designers, artists, & creatives. Molly’s experience as a photographer with a food industry work background allows her to nimbly access kitchen environments while navigating the culture and production of food with a deep respect, unquenchable interest, and with a value and emphasis on dignity. The people who cultivate, create, and transform food through labor and love are whom Molly wants to spend time, learn from, and eat with!

Her work can be seen in the forthcoming book DESIGNING WITH DRIED FLOWERS as well as the cookbooks; ITALY BY INGREDIENT, (SERIOUS) NEW COOK, SHARP and FEED YOUR PEOPLE.
