100 Cook Books

Client: Pulp Media
And finally, I did a project for a publisher who is producing a collection of books with one hundred specialised recipes in each, e.g. 100 asian or 100 tapas recipes. Unfortunately I did not shoot all the recipes for the books as time would not allow for it. The brief was very open so it allowed me to be a bit more creative styling wise and try a few new things. All shots were taken in my new studio in North London where I am just loving the light.

Baby shower sugartastic spread

Client: TBC
 A very good friend of mine asked me to throw a baby shower for her a few months ago. Kate and I made a joint effort out of it and it all looked so pretty we decided it would be a shame not to take a picture of the spread. The shoot would make a good story for a magazine and has not been used anywhere yet, so do get in touch if you know a good outlet for it. Also, myself and Kate are hugely inspired by our shoot and would love to cater another baby shower, so get in touch if you are interested. Here not only the shots, but also a list of Kate's sweet baby inspired creations.

Belle Isle Cookery School

Client: Belle Isle Cookery School
A job in Ireland for a cookery school produced these moody images, which are my favourite dark shots in my career so far. The natural light was great but the combination of the colour of the food and the kitchen surface produced these painterly shots. I have to say a big thank you to my food stylist for these shots as she pointed out the background and suggested we use it. Thanks Kate!

BBC lifestyle branding

I have had a busy few months hence the new post hiatus. Not complaining, it is great to be busy, but it means blog and tax returns suffer. Here are some of my favourite images from the last few months and some words on the job.

Client: BBC
I shot these images for the BBC for them to use in the branding of their food channels. We shot an enormous amount of shots in one day with the help of a food stylist. I like the way ordinary ingredients become quite beautiful photographed and lit simply like this. They would make great poster prints, even if I say so myself.
