There are many stories held within food, a shared experience that spans the tables of memory, community, culture, and industry. Within these layers, tender moments for connection emerge through each step of craving, sourcing, preparing and enjoying a beautiful meal.
Food photography captures the visual artistry of meals and ingredients to evoke the senses beyond the kitchen. From showcasing a chef’s creativity and distilling a restaurant’s commitment to seasonality and service, to documenting the reward of a farmer’s harvest or foraged morsels sizzling over open flames, this rich genre celebrates the small stories within food.
With a degree in Editorial and Advertising Photography and a deep understanding of the industry, I collaborate with talented chefs, restaurants and food producers who revere quality over convenience.
Based in Cornwall and shooting internationally, my approach to location and style authentically captures a shared passion for food sourcing, seasonality, ethos and community without fuss and pretence.
The sensory experience of food often begins with sight; in this moment, we start consuming before the meal commences. Eating with our eyes can ring as true with an image as it can with a laid table, where presentation is an essential ingredient in how we experience food. Through styling and considered photography, craving can begin with an image, translating flavour and freshness to invite an audience to sit around the physical or imagined table.
In small and intimate projects, I work with a sensitive approach to natural light, capturing evocative scenes to savour through film and digital photography. These visual feasts invite connection beyond the dish to align with a brand’s values of true sustainability, passion and purpose, communicating a process of integrity and care.
From the provenance of raw ingredients to finished plates, culinary photography may act as a visual tasting menu of a brand and their offerings, distilling ethos to evoke cravings and welcome audiences to a seat at their table.
