Luxeplate is a photography services studio
focused on Food Photography & Styling,
based in gorgeous Montréal.
Founded by Leila Afraz.

Hello and welcome to my website!

My name is Leila Afraz, I’m a professional food photographer/stylist based in Montreal.

Growing up in an artistic family in Iran, I have always had a passion for visual storytelling and a keen eye for detail. I believe that food is more than just sustenance - it is a medium through which we can convey emotion, culture, and community. This belief has driven me to focus on food photography and styling, and I have spent the last 10 years honing my skills in this field.

As a photographer, I am dedicated to capturing the beauty and vibrancy of food in all its forms. I strive to create images that are not only visually appealing but also tell a story and evoke a sense of emotion in the viewer. I believe that the power of a great photograph lies in its ability to transport the viewer to another place and time, and I work tirelessly to achieve this effect in my work.

I am constantly inspired by the diverse and vibrant food culture of Montreal, and I believe that this city is the perfect place for me to continue my journey as a photographer. I am always seeking new challenges and opportunities to push my skills to the next level, and I am excited to see where my passion for food photography will take me next.

I hope that you will enjoy exploring my work and getting to know me a little better. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss a potential project - I would love to hear from you!

Today, I share my passion and expertise with others in the gorgeous Montréal—with its vibrant cafes and exuberant restaurants. Get in touch.
