FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
Food photography should say a lot more than just “this is a plate of food”.
It should capture the time, effort and passion that has gone into that particular dish,

Whilst we are based in Lancashire and Cumbria, our food photography has taken us to London, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Scotland, Wales and even abroad, such as Texas and Alabama.

Food photography depends very much on good light, and yet the textures, shapes and form can respond extremely well to quite a simple lighting setup.
Food Photography
All my food photography is client driven. Whether that’s restaurants, hotels, recipe books or Getty Images, the brief and styling is usually someone else’s decision.
