Food Photography in France

Last year was a banger for me. I had the privilege to travel to France with video friends for Facebook and produce some Food Photography in France. Ok it wasn’t strictly French food, but look it’s beautiful! One night, Instagram flew in a star chef. He created such magnificant master pieces for VIPs to enjoy. I’ve added a couple of dishes below. We travelled to Cannes and as past of the ten day shoot, it was requested I photographed a VIP Instagram dinner that was set up just for this particular event. It was amazing! White was the theme, with white tables and chairs, candelabra, linen etc. Everyone was so suprised and there a lot of phones emerged snapping away at the food and surroundings to record the moment. If you fancy going to the event next year, have a look at Cannes Lions link below; https://www.canneslions.com/

With a saturated market in the captial it’s imperitave now to enhance the look and make your culenary delights that little bit more appealing. To stand out from the crowd, to encourage punters through the door. Therefore it makes sense to hire a professional food photographer to come by and give your dishes an extra bit of sparkle! As a professional food photographer, my imagery had been noticed by one of the great chefs of our time. In fact he holds the record for being the youngest chef to attain 2 Michelin stars, (at the age of 26), we are of course talking about the great, Tom Aikens. After working in many Michelin starred restaurants, he now runs 3 […]

London Food Photography

June also lent itself to me becoming a new resident photographer for a certain well-known London restaurant chain, which I can’t mention at present as the images you see below are for a Burger competition and aren’t allowed to be tagged. But I do have permission to show them! I love London Food Photography.   The lighting technique was a couple of backlights, another on the background, a mega brolly to create daylight effect and a beaut dish to fill.   Have a look at these beasts, they were massive!
