Sainsburys ‘Live well for less’ Magazine

I was hired to photograph some canapés for the December issue of 'Live well for less' magazine. The clients loved the images so much that they ended up using them over more pages than were initially planned. Here are my favourite ones-

Many thanks to the 'Less well for less' team. It was a great day as always!

‘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.

Old El Paso

I recently did a shoot for Old El Paso with the agency Ogilvy & Mather UK. It was a 3 day shoot where we took seasonal photos for them to use across their social media and in print. Only a few of the images have been released so far, as the shoot was seasonal there will be more to follow!

Asda cakes

I was recently commissioned by VCCP to shoot a selection of celebration cakes for Asda. This was a technical shoot for the digital department, where the final outcome was a series of interactive banners. The main focus for the shoot was the pinata cake, where I took a series of images that were finally stitched together to make an animation showing the excitement of when the cake is cut. Here's a selection of the images-

And here are the stills I took for the Pinata animation-

A massive thank you to the wonderful team at VCCP- Sarah Lasenby, Sophie Townsend, Jade Sturman, Janetta Lewin and Jonny Goodall. It was a pleasure working with you all. And to my hard working assistant Vicky Siddle.
