About ZAIRA
 

Zaira Zarotti was born in Venice on 31 December 1988. Daughter of art, Zaira has attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, and then graduated in 2012 with a specialization in photography at the CFP Bauer of Milan.

After an initial interest in theatre photography that sees her collaborating with the Venice International Theater, photographing numerous internationally renowned theater companies, she began to explore photography language, focusing on still life and more specifically on the field of food photography.

Author of the blog The Freaky Table, founded in mid-2015, Zaira has become a popular photographer and food blogger on the international scene, defining her work as a unique combination of contemporary photography and Flemish painting.

Recognized for her highly curated photography, attention to natural light, and chiaroscuro, Zaira produces images that have a distinctly classical and painterly tone.

Her blog was a finalist of the “Best Photography” category at Saveur Best Blog Awards 2017.

Zaira currently works as a freelance photographer and journalist for D La Repubblica. Her work has been published in numerous magazines such as Condé Nast Traveler UK, Saveur Magazine, Corriere della Sera, El Mundo ES, Honest Food Magazine, Artful Blogging, Thrive, The Maker’s Post, and many more.
