FAQs

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

I’m based in London and work with clients from London and the surrounding areas. I can also work remotely with clients if they prefer, and there is also scope for other locations on request, including international projects. Feel free to get in touch here to discuss.

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO FOR FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY IN LONDON?

Predominately I work from my own studio at home, but also work with studios as/when appropriate for the project, and on location. Or if you’re interested in booking me for Travel & Lifestyle photography, you can see more of my work here.

WHAT IS YOUR AVAILABILITY?

Availability varies- the quickest way to check if I’m available for your project is get in touch here.

HOW DOES YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS WORK?

  • To kick off we’ll have a discovery call to understand your aims for the project, and check availability, logistics and budget.

  • You’ll then be able to share any inspiration/a brief/brand assets etc.

  • I’ll then research, create your mood board and design a shot list.

  • You’ll then be able to feedback on the mood board & shot list and we’ll have a pre-production call to finalise all details and make sure you’re 100% happy.

  • The production/photoshoot will then take place, with the previously agreed approval process in place.

  • I’ll then get to work on the post-production editing process to convey the mood and aesthetics you are seeking.

  • The final assets will then be shared with you.
