Lou Carruthers Cotswolds Food and Drink Photographer

Hi, I’m lou

Hospitality & Drinks PHOTOGRAPHER


I work with hospitality and drinks brands who value story over spectacle – capturing not just what you serve, but the warmth, light and feeling that makes your place unforgettable.

From Cotswolds restaurants and craft distilleries to Menorca agroturismos, I create imagery that invites your audience to pause, feel and connect long before they walk through your door.

how we can

work together


Whether you’re a restaurant evolving with the seasons, a craft distillery perfecting your process, or a boutique hotel grounded in landscape – I create imagery that captures the warmth, atmosphere and care behind what you do.

From the Cotswolds to Menorca, I specialise in:
Hospitality & restaurants · Drinks & spirits · Travel & place
