Hi, I'm Trevlin Pillay! I love food & photography and shoot a wide range of personal and commission work.
From the age of 16 I wandered into the kitchen with my mum and never left. Cooking takes me into another world where I can be myself completely and I know that I am doing something that I am naturally good at and extremely passionate about. I Love food and I love people and food brings people together and this is my strength.
As a qualified Professional Chef and Graphic Designer, I offer a full range of solutions to my clients. These range from: Consulting, menu design, food photography, social media management and creative content, recipe development and staff training.
You may view some of my completed work by viewing my clients social media pages (Instagram/Facebook), some of which are mentioned below. I offer contract work on the web based application FIVERR as well.
I have been very fortunate to have travelled vastly. Traveling abroad has widened my knowledge about how the rest of the world lives and operates on a daily basis. Every country I have been to is unique, thus increasing my general knowledge and enhancing my thinking. It has also taught me to maintain tolerance and understanding of various races, religions and cultures, instilling in me an open minded approach. I have gained experience in many different cuisines and taken many memorable photos along the way.
Thank you for taking the time to view my Portfolio. Please feel free to contact me if you require any of my services or would like to collaborate on a project.
