Food Stylist & Photographer

I am a food photographer, prop stylist and food stylist based in London.

I love working on cookbooks as well as websites and content for food starts-ups, cafes and restaurants. All the shots below as well as the ones you can find on the blog are styled and photographed by me (unless stated otherwise).  

I am available for food photography, prop styling, food styling and recipe development; my clients include Orion Publishing, Waitrose, Tetley, Primrose's Kitchen LTD and Leisure Cooker.
