Hi I’m Lou
A hospitality, food, drink and destination photographer based in the Cotswolds, with a growing love affair with Menorca.
I love hospitality because I love being looked after!
The clean sheets. The room that’s magically tidy when you get back. The welcome, the anticipation when your food arrives, and discovering somewhere new.
Basically, I really like being there and that’s why I love photographing it.
I notice the little things
The sear on the steak. The precision of a bartender measuring a drink. The way a towel is folded. The subtle details that make an experience feel considered – and yes, the smear on the plate or lipstick on a glass that needs sorting before I take the shot.
I’m interested in the obvious hero shots, of course.
But I’m always looking for the quiet moments that give a venue its pulse.
THE BEST SHOOTS
FEEL LIKE A COLLABORATION
A good plan makes everyone’s day easier, but the best work happens in the unscripted moments. I arrive early, keep my gear out of the way, and get properly excited when the afternoon light hits just right.
You know your venue; I know how to capture it. We work out what matters to you, and then we make images that make your guests feel it too.
A FEW QUICK THINGS
I will get disproportionately excited about brilliant light.
I will absolutely stop to photograph a really good pub sign.
I have a massive soft spot for Disney. If you want to talk about world-building and obsessive detail, we’ll be here all day.
Want to work together?
You don’t need a finished brief or a perfect shot list.
