Helene Dujardin

Hélène Dujardin, the voice behind the food blog Tartelette is a French expatriate working as a full time food photographer, currently residing in Charleston, South Carolina.

As far as she can remember, Hélène has always been involved with food and photography. Whether it was learning kitchen techniques from her grandmother or watching her brother, also a photographer, capture the magical light of their native Provence in the South of France.

A former pastry chef, Hélène’s photography reveals her passion for natural light, seasonal and fresh ingredients, as well as a love of travel and genuine interest in people.

She has photographed and styled numerous magazine features and cookbook to date. Her work has been featured in Elle Magazine, Martha Stewart online, Fine Cooking, ABC News, CNN and more. She was nominated among the 50 Best Food Blogs by The Times Online and won Saveur’s Best of 2011 Special Interest Food Blog award.

She is the author of “Plate To Pixel. Digital Food Photography & Styling” (Wiley&Sons) which came out last Spring.
