Matanna Katz was honoured to be able to work with her dear friend and client, the beautiful and bubbly Zola Nene.
Together they have created ethereal imagery encapsulating Zola's delectable dishes in a way that represents her "Visual Voice". You can see these images below.
In the images above from left to right is Zola's trio of cookbooks. The cookbook cover on the right is Zola's third cookbook called "Simply Seven Colours" which was created and launched in 2022. Matanna Katz was the Photographer and Prop Stylist for the entire book front to back.
