Just a quiet day in the studio – playing with fire again. It’s nice to have a little extra time during the Covid-19 Virus to get things (by things I mean flames) exactly how I want them. Don’t try this at home kids… Thanks to Ken Feyuki – www.kenfuyuki.com

It’s a great time for me to be shooting #food and #drink #photography in my studio – things here are pretty normal even though the virus on the go. It’s been a strange time for all – people asking me “what day is it?” it’s funny watching people getting into the freelance/working from home thing. Odd how we are on lock-down. Stay Home Stay Safe – but here we are all go – supporting local food and drink businesses herein Dorset. Let us know if you need some help reaching out to new client during this time – it’s a …

For all you #foodies out there this will be a great 30mins of sharing. We even have “THE …

What an amazing product – from those nice folk at I.O.Shen Knives – modelling by that talented Chef Steve James. Check them out online.  

I love shooting cocktails, and foodie shots – as we normally get to sample great #dorset produce on set. Although I don’t drink alcohol when I’m working we do make sure we make up that at the weekends where possible. However, shooting raw meat in the studio comes with its own set of problems. Handing the produce, styling and lighting – we opt for latex gloves and a lot of planning – with a great range of goat meat products from www.newbarnfarmdorset.co.uk and a few props from our extensive range here at the studio – including a few IOShen Knives we …
