Photography is more than just capturing an image for me—it’s about showcasing how a dish is truly meant to be seen, bringing out its flavors, textures, and artistry through stunning visuals.

An Exceptional Talent in Food and Commercial Photography
I’ve had the privilege of working with Miguel Donato for years, both in our restaurants in Latin America—Hello Sushi and Oliva—and during the early stages of our venture in the United States with Sushi KONG. His talent as a photographer extends far beyond food; his mastery of lighting, composition, and aesthetics allows him to create images that evoke emotions and tell compelling stories, whether he’s capturing an exquisite dish or delivering high-quality commercial portraits.
Miguel was a key figure in shaping the visual identity of our brands, bringing his unique vision and unwavering commitment to excellence to every shot. Although physical distance led us down different paths, I am truly excited to see him launching his own agency in the U.S. With his professionalism, creativity, and technical expertise, I have no doubt that he will become a leader in whatever area he chooses to serve.
If you’re looking for a photographer who doesn’t just take pictures but elevates your brand’s visual identity, Miguel Donato is the one to call.

I’m the owner of @Trio_Restaurant, and my experience with Miguel was amazing.
He was recommended by a friend of mine who also owns a restaurant, and from the very beginning, I received top-quality work, incredible collaboration, and a genuine willingness to help my business. His attention to detail and passion for food photography truly make a difference. I highly recommend him!
