‘Who said not to play with your food’ Part One

I decided to approach a creative personal project on soup in a slightly different way. I asked myself, how do I show soup other than in a bowl or pan? I wanted to explore taking the ingredients out of their final context. So, influenced by the renaissance paintings of food between the 14th & 18th Century, and with the help of the fabulous Davina, I made soup ingredients into floral inspired displays. Although the images may appear effortless, the bouquets were very difficult to structure. A massive thank you to Davina Perkins for her fabulous prop styling and art direction. Not to mention getting stuck in with helping to create the bouquets. Here are the final images-

More images from the 'Who said not to play with your food' series to follow in the new year.

Lilli Crumbs

I was recently commissioned to do a shoot for Lilli Crumbs, the cupcake company at my studio in London Bridge. We started off my shooting the cut-outs for the eCommerce section of the website. Tessa, from Lilli Crumbs, target audience is both corporate and wedding clients. We wanted to create quite a lifestyle feel to all the images. This first image I think has quite a corporate event feel to it. I think the image is really brought to life my have the tray of champagne in the background. With this next image we just wanted to try something a little different. I think the shot really works! This next shot, definitely has a wedding feel to it. I recreated a wedding table setting. This last shot was just a last minute idea. I actually think it’s my favourite shot of the day! To find out more information about Tessa’s cupcakes, please take a look at her website- www.lillicrumbs.co.uk
