Our Story

Welcome to Octolumi

Bonjour. Olá. Hello.

Octolumi is the gastronomic brainchild of me, Axelle Manfrini. I’m a French art director and photographer who also specializes in portrait and fashion, but my appetite and curiosity lead me to develop Octolumi as it is today. It’s the embodiment of my passion for the culinary arts and food products, because food is life!

Octolumi offers photography, art direction, and photo retouching services for chefs, hotels, restaurants and food related products. We are located in Lisbon, though we can support projects worldwide.

My goal is not only to produce high-quality images, but it’s also to help, guide, and empower small businesses with the right tools to create a more focused visual identity to support their message.
