I am a freelance photographer who will take on any commissions. However I specialise in food, people and event photography in particular.

As a freelance photographer, I bring with me many years of industry experience. Years which have not only honed my artistic skills, but also given me an in-depth knowledge of the technical and production sides of the profession.

I enjoy being client focused and meeting a brief as much as contributing my own passion and creative ideas to a project. I have an easygoing though professional approach and will always strive for the best possible results.

Goods and Services

I specialise in food photography as this allows me to combine my two great passions: delicious food and the creation of beautiful imagery.

I work to commissions from magazines, PR companies and directly for clients. This work ranges from creative images of prepared recipes to more technical ones of packaging and products.

I am happy to discuss work of any photographic nature as I also do portraits, events and interiors.

Donations and Payments

To whom and exactly how companies make donations and payments, including those to charitable organisations, professional associations and government, are extremely complex issues. It is important that companies disclose their corporate donations, publish their payments and explain what they hope or expect to receive in return.
