The Work

Orly Catz is a visual storyteller, specializing in photography of food, beverage, and product. 

From a young age, Orly was inspired to capture the world around her. As her craft developed, she found an affinity with liquids, textures, and light, gravitating towards the emotional aspect of the imagery and learning how she could bring these to life in the finished image. 

It is about passion. It is about art. It is about finding the true essence of an object and imbuing it with a life force.

A specialist in food photography as well as beverage, liquid, and product of all kinds, Orly brings a love of all things culinary to her canvas. The textures, flavors, and smells provide the inspiration and her goal is to capture it all in an image – and make sure the viewer can feel it too.

Clients love working with Orly and her team because the studio is the complete package, offering a range of services that include concept/ideas, styling, retouching, and more. Having worked with clients all over the world, she is known for her artistic eye and exceptionally creative ideas as much as her perfectionism and attention to detail. Her signature lighting techniques and special effects bring products to life in a vivid, dynamic way seldom seen in two dimensions. She is meticulous, detail-minded, approachable, open-minded, and communicative, and will always go the extra mile to ensure a client’s complete satisfaction.

An expert in digital and in-camera special effects, her talent for capturing splashes, frost, steam, smoke, flame, condensation, pours, and droplets are as unparalleled as her unrelenting quest for perfection in visual storytelling.

Bio

 

My Faves

I am a passionate and innovative individual; a photographer, a loving mother, a devoted friend, a younger sister and a daughter. I love salsa dancing, long walks barefoot on the beach, warm sunny days, a big mug of steaming cappuccino in the morning, dark chocolate everything, and freshly baked, home made apple pie. 

I love artichokes, sushi, berry smoothies with spinach (yes, spinach) and I add lemon to almost everything. I love to cook! Music makes me emotional. I cry in movies, and I enjoy everything related to art. 

My Adventures

I have camped in Death Valley photographing star sweeps, captured the Tufas in Mono Lake at sunrise, the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, and the endless magical corners of the Venice canals. I served in the IDF’s air force, explored the beauty of Italy, the Greek Islands, Costa Rica, and even swam with dolphins in the Red Sea. I hiked in the Red Mud Rainforest of Kauai, and sailed around Vancouver Island to photograph bald eagles. I see beauty everywhere, even when there isn't much.

Early Start 

I received my first camera when I was 12 years old, and was immediately hooked. Sparks were flying everywhere, and haven't stopped since.  I am eternally grateful to my parents who supported and encouraged my passion and let me use the family bathroom as my darkroom. 

Your Success=My Success

Having a camera in my hand makes me thoroughly happy. I am in love with Food & Beverage photography, and have an endless fascination with  liquid. It is quite common to find me standing in a puddle of something, splashing and tossing it around! 

With all that love of capturing and creating, though, my real focus is, and always remains - my clients' success

Along with my team, we have been a full service photography studio for 18 years.
