food & DRINK

Photography that savours every detail


I work with artisan producers, craft brewers and founder-led food brands who believe that process matters as much as product. From sourdough bakers to small-batch distillers, I capture the dedication, tradition and authentic craft behind every creation.

Your ingredients, your hands, your heritage – my photography tells the story behind them all. These aren’t just product shots; they’re invitations into a world where provenance and process are celebrated, and every detail speaks of care.
