Step into the enchanting world of Hollis Mead Dairy, where nature’s bounty meets organic goodness.

Every shot was an opportunity to showcase the dedication and passion that goes into creating these culinary delights.

My journey didn’t end with capturing the products alone. I ventured into the heart of Hollis Mead’s farm, where cows roamed freely amidst lush pastures. The rolling hills and blooming wildflowers served as a natural backdrop, adding depth and character to my photographs. Each click of the shutter conveyed the farm’s commitment to sustainability and the close bond between the animals, nature, and the dedicated staff.

Working with Magazine Designers…

Some of you may know – I trained as a Graphic Designer – oh those were the days…. 😉

Anyway – knowing the use of an image has always been an advantage i have as a photographer. This particular example is from a shoot for a double spread. You can see the “white space” or “negative space” left for the page wrap. Allowing plenty of options for the typesetting / design. That’s why it’s important for me to capture multiple formats for the client – giving them the best use of imagery for all platforms. Be that print, social media, blogs, newsletters or email campaigns.

All part of the Food and Drink Photography service – “You’re welcome…”

It’s all about the Club House…at Fitzdares Club

A great shoot working with Chef Dom at the Fitzdares Club – I wonderful menu and great atmosphere all round.

We set to capturing the new food menu with some simply styled imagery, for the website and social feeds.

A Class Above….Spring Edition of CLASS MAGAZINE

Another day another dollar….

Working on the Spring Edition of CLASS MAGAZINE has been an incredible experience, especially with the fantastic photo shoot we had at the Connaught Bar. The shoot was dedicated to celebrating the 15 years of seamless excellence at the hotel bar, and we wanted to make it unforgettable.

One of the highlights of the shoot was the amazing magazine cover concept that Class Magazine came up with. We utilized three mixologists and a steady stream of liquid flowing from one to another. The image was visually stunning and worked incredibly well on social media platforms, generating a lot of buzz among followers.

The concept also translated well to print, making for a great set of magazine covers. I can’t wait to see the hard copy, as I know it will be a great addition to our collection. Sometimes, it’s good to go #oldskool and appreciate the physical copies of magazines.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Agostino, Maura, and Giorgio, and the Connaught Cocktail team for their contribution to the shoot. Their effort and dedication made it possible for us to create such an unforgettable image. A big clean-up was required after throwing all those drinks around, but it was all worth it for the amazing result we achieved.

In conclusion, the Spring Edition of CLASS MAGAZINE promises to be a unique and exceptional issue. With an outstanding photo shoot at the Connaught Bar and an amazing magazine cover concept, I’m confident that readers will be thrilled with what is in store for them. I hope to continue to create more memorable shoots in the future and bring our readers the best content possible.
