Valéry Drouet et Pierre-Louis Viel

Valéry Drouet, a former chef in the gastronomic restaurant business, ended his career by treating fashion and film crews in a major Paris studio. It was during this period that he met Pierre-Louis, a fashion accessories photographer. They were both keen to move into culinary photography, and that’s when it clicked!
Over the last 15 years, together they have published no fewer than 80 cookery books, written and produced numerous subjects for the finest culinary press such as Saveurs magazine, and done a great deal of photo and video work in gastronomic advertising.
With a very masculine approach to photography and food styling, Valéry and Pierre-Louis have a style all their own. With their ‘Brut’, life-style and gourmet atmospheres, their photos and recipes are always authentic.
