Our Latest Project
I absolutely loved working with these ladies!
Throughout my time working in the food industry, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with many amazing food companies and working with Jeynes of Earl Barton has been no different. These incredible ladies approached me to capture photographs for their website and social media, showcasing their brand and vision.
Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph a collaborative event they hosted with Fawsley Hall. The event featured a delicious four-course meal and fascinating insights into their journey, both past and present. It was a wonderful experience celebrating their success and the connections they foster.
These lovely ladies went above and beyond by sharing their holiday spirit with me, providing drinks and mince pies for my Christmas Jumper event. Their kindness and generosity reflect their dedication not only to their own business but also to supporting others.
This collaboration is a perfect example of how businesses can come together to create something special, supporting and uplifting one another along the way.
Food Photography Tips to help!
Get the Right Kit. Entry-level DSLRs are now very reasonably priced and offer excellent picture quality, making them ideal for blog photography. If you’re looking to elevate your shots, consider investing in a quality lens.
Avoid Using Flash. Flash lighting, especially front-on, can flatten your dish and eliminate delicate natural shadows.
Always Carry a Tripod
Choose Props Carefully. Subtle details like the tablecloth, plate, and cutlery can significantly impact the mood and aesthetic of your image.
Find the Best Angle. Experiment with different perspectives to discover the most flattering angle for your dish.
Work Quickly. Food that sits too long can lose its appeal.
Spritz for Freshness. When photographing fruit or vegetables, a few misty bursts of water can add a vibrant, fresh look.
Be Prepared and Plan Ahead. To avoid food cooling or wilting, have everything, your setup, props, and angles, ready to go before the dish is plated.
