Ghent-based food production studio since 2018 | Hot Topic

Here’s where your brand becomes a Hot Topic

We’re Sarah and Casi — art director, stylist, and video editor. Crazy about each other, slow living, and delicious food.

In 2018, we founded Hot Topic because great food deserves beautiful visuals.

We create photos and videos, always starting from your marketing plan.
Sarah leads the way and stays by your side throughout— from strategy and planning to styling and final results.
We love hospitality, open communication, and visuals that stand the test of time.

We’ve built a team of loyal freelancers around us— each an experienced professional who loves nothing more than collaborating on your visuals.
We get each other with just half a word, and at the end, we eat it all together.

“What makes Sarah unique is her very open way of communicating. She thinks along quickly and has a hands-on, no-nonsense approach.”

“Sit back and relax, you’re in good hands”—that’s exactly how I felt on the day of the shoot. It’s perfect for brands that want to be completely taken care of, who value a fresh perspective and someone who really thinks along. Also for brands that might not have everything mapped out internally yet, but actually want to be challenged. Taking the photo is just one part of the job; truly understanding the brand and translating it into images—that’s where Hot Topic’s strength lies.”

— Nicolas Degryse, food & drinks marketeer

“The images we saw from other restaurants weren’t detailed enough. Everything looked the same. We needed an extra layer.”

“Thanks to Hot Topic’s thorough approach, the images now truly reflect what we meant. We feel they are genuinely tailor-made, with every detail just right. New customers are now much better convinced online than before. And when they visit, it’s up to us to meet those expectations.”

— Levi Godichiabois, levisburgers.be
