Hailing from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, I am a professional food photographer based in London, UK.

I take creative, bold images whilst creating a fun and comfortable working atmosphere. Technically skilled with bags of experience, I love working closely with clients to fulfil their vision precisely and clearly.

I am also partial to great coffee, beer and the odd Negroni.

I am available for studio and location shoots worldwide, represented by Lisa Pritchard Agency.

A BIT ABOUT ME

How did you get into food photography?

I’ve always been an avid cook and lover of food and drink so it was kind of destined when I picked up a camera that food would be involved somewhere. We can blame COVID for taking away my ability to be around people to photograph, but as soon as I started exploring the different textures and colours of food and drink and how light can play with them visually, I was hooked.

Your work is often bright, bold and in your face. How did you adopt this style?

My favourite foods are bright, bold and in your face. My taste in design and visuals is the same. As a Food Photographer, I want my work to explode off the page or screen in the same way as that first bite of a juicy burger, or the sharp tang of biting into a sour candy.

Do you think your perception of food has changed since it became your career to photograph it?

My appreciation for what I think beautiful food is has become simpler. If you had asked me before what beautiful food is, then I’d probably think of Michelin star small plates but now it would be a totally unblemished bar of chocolate or a perfectly styled sandwich. There is a kind of beauty in the everyday that’s easy to overlook and this career as a food photographer has brought that to light.

If you could only photograph one food for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

It would have to be burgers. There is so much going on there and endless ways to play. Ingredient choice, style, sauce, toppings. They might be my weakness.

We love your animations, could you tell us more about them?

The thing I love about stop-motion animation is that it has a certain element of play and imagination that can be a lot trickier to replicate in a video. The jerky frame rate evokes childhood feelings of comics and cartoons and the ability to go into every frame and edit it means you can create little bits of magic where the food can move in impossible ways. Creating those memories is one of the best parts of being a food photographer.

What’s one thing you miss about the North being from Wakefield?

People just have time for people there. I’d don’t blame people in the South because the pace of life is totally different, but in the North people take their time to be friendly with strangers in a way you just don’t get here.

What would be your death row meal?

A Negroni to start. Fresh baked Sourdough with French butter and anchovies, Crispy Squid, Double Bacon Cheeseburger (surprise) and fries, Tiramisu. Alongside that copious amounts of wine and hoppy IPAs with a Sazerac and a double espresso to finish. That sounds pretty good to me.
