Food Stylist

About Caroline

Caroline attended RMIT university and graduated with qualifications in Applied Science (H. Ec). Elective subjects in food photography, food science and recipe development lay the groundwork for her future work as a food stylist.

Caroline also studied at William Angliss College and graduated with qualifications in Hospitality Management.

She has many years of experience working in restaurants, both front of house and in the kitchens, alongside well known chefs. Working under pressure in a fast paced environment prepared her for the rigours of tv commercials, cooking shows and book projects.

With an understanding of the restaurant industry, Caroline is able to work with leading chefs beyond the kitchen, on other commercial projects.

Her interest in writing about food led to roles as Food Editor of Real Living magazine and columnist for Epicure/Good Food.

She brings together these skills to develop recipes for her commercial clients.

Caroline travels extensively to research food culture and purchase props for her bespoke collection.

She has a fully equipped studio in Melbourne.

Caroline Velik is a consummate professional and her studio space is pretty cool, well equipped and organised. She is fantastic with all of kinds of people because she’s great with outside the box ideas. I love working with her! You rock Caroline!

I have had the honour of working with Caroline over the past 5 years on numerous projects. International television shows, cook books, personally commissioned shoots and recipe creation. There is a reason why Caroline is recognised as not just the leader in her field but one of the founders.

She is absolutely brilliant! Her knowledge and passion for all she is does is inspiring. Her range of props, treatments and techniques to get the absolute best out of a project is mind-blowing. Her dedication to the relentless search for fresh ideas and concepts finds her scouring the globe working with artisan potters and manufacturers to keep her distinctive style ahead of the game.

Caroline has become more then someone we work with, she has become apart of the family and I am privileged to call her a friend.
