Hi, I’m Ligaya! I’m a self-taught commercial photographer based in Sri Lanka, passionate about capturing the beauty of food, people, and moments.
What drives me:
I believe that every dish, dessert, or culinary creation tells a story. My lens brings out the textures, colors, and emotions—from the bustling behind‑the‑scenes of bakeries and kitchens to the personal touch of home‑made meals. I also enjoy photographing the hands, faces, and smiles behind these creations—food creators and bakers—making each image come alive with personality and authenticity
My style:
Food photography with a flair for styling and storytelling
Portraits that highlight the soul of the subject—especially those passionate about food
Also dive into street, outdoor, and macro photography, blending environment with emotion
How I got here:
Photography began as a personal passion—I taught myself the craft and turned it into my profession. What started in intimate volunteer projects and casual shoots has grown into paid commissions and commercial work in food, product, and lifestyle photography.
About me in essence:
A food lover at heart, always in awe of how plating, light, and angle can elevate a dish.
Confident and comfortable around food—like old friends reconnecting.
Driven by creativity, observation, and constant learning—every shoot is an opportunity to experiment and grow
