Get in touch to see how I can help you stand out!

I'm a food photographer based in Chichester, West Sussex, UK. My journey with food and photography began in my teenage years, and my love for capturing moments through pictures started even earlier, around the age of six. It all began during our family's globe-trotting adventures, particularly when my father inspired me to photograph the 'Star Ferry,' a noteworthy experience in the early 80s when camera phones were unheard of.

Fast forward to today, I've honed my skills with professional cameras and lighting to create captivating images of the dishes I prepare. As a trained chef, recipe writer, and product developer, my profound understanding of the food industry allows me to effectively showcase your products.







I go the extra mile by crafting and painting my own backgrounds to achieve the precise look and ambiance required for each project.

Every photoshoot I undertake is meticulously planned, considering factors such as colours, materials, textures, and, of course, the food products themselves. I am dedicated to delivering exactly what the client desires, often contributing creative ideas to enhance the final outcome.
