Food photography

Food has been my life for as long as I can remember so it is a no brainer that food photography is extremely near and dear to my heart. There are so many points of view to consider when it comes to food photography and I love to capture them all, a beautiful finished dish with perfect colours and textures or those close ups with all the juicy detail that almost allows the viewer to be able to taste the food. I am happy to create recipes for your product if required or if you have branded recipes already then I am happy to work from those. The beauty of this service is that I can cook, style and photograph everything – a one stop shop, saving you time and money.

Food styling

If it is food styling that you require then as previously mentioned then you have come to the right place. I l love nothing more than getting lost in the details of  a dish. I always think about how it is being presented to the viewer, how they might eat it and all the important flavour cues that they need to experience from the images. You might require a food stylist if you already have a photographer on set and you need someone to make the food pop while the photographer concentrates on what they do best. We can work together on the vision and enjoy the process of watching it come to life, food styling is absolutely a key element in capturing those to die for food shots.

Beverage photography

Alongside a beautiful dish there is usually a tasty glass of something weather that be wine, beer, cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, coffee or tea. Again, there are so many elements to beverage photography and so many tricks you can use to make a drink look its best, I have plenty of experience in this area and am particularly passionate about beverage photography. Please feel free to supply me with the cocktails recipes that you already have or I would love to create you something new and unique that showcases your brand and is tasty AF.

Supplying your audience with ideas for how your product can be served is inspiring and provides them with multiple ways of engaging with your drink, making sure they are always returning for more. Let’s talk cocktails today!

Restaurant or café photography

If you are a restaurant or café then not only is it important that you showcase your food and beverage but also the actual interior or your restaurant, your space where diners are going to feel at home while enjoying your amazing food. We also can’t forget the people who run your establishment, greet your customers and cook their food, these are all important aspects of your story as a restaurant and I would love to capture those special details for you. I will come to you to first figure out a plan and check out your location then I will be back on the day camera in hand and ready for action.

Behind the scenes photography

You may not have a restaurant but you may want images of the behind the scenes of your product being made, the creative process which is such a beautiful and key part of your story. This may be at a factory or it may be at your home office, regardless of the location I would love the opportunity to capture you in your element doing what you love. It is so special for your customers to be able to get that little sneak peak into how your product is created, it builds confidence and connection and it is a privilege to be a small part of that process.

Brand direction and concepts

As part of my photography packages, I can help you to create the look you want for your branded imagery, you may have some basic ideas or you may have no clue where to start, either way is great! We can collaborate working though colour palettes, message, props, styling and all the things that contribute to an amazing image. You don’t have to have all the answers at the start, that is what I am here for.

GIF and Stop Motion

Video is a popular choice these days and with good reason, it opens up loads of other opportunities to showcase your brand in different ways than still life photography does. It might be important to you that you see the product inside the jar or you show how it works, those are just a couple of simple options but really the only thing that limits you here is your imagination. Movement in your scene is eye catching and fun, it creates another layer of complexity to an already scroll stopping scene, I am happy to add this service onto your next shoot.

So as you can see, there are a number ways we can connect in 2024, if you would like to discuss any of these services further please do not hesitate to get in touch I am happy to jump on a call or answer your questions via email. Let’s create something amazing! Contact me
