In September I was commissioned by Travel + Leisure magazine to shoot their front cover story for their Nov/Dec issue for the opening of Gleneagles Townhouse - I had the amazing opportunity to visit Edinburgh for the week and shoot/stay in some really amazing hotels and shoot/eat some delicious food. The assignment itself was one of my favorites so far and I was even more chuffed that my image made the front cover. Check out the full article here beautifully written by Peter Terzian.
GREATNEWS: I’ve been selected to share my work-in-progress project for feedback and review at The Photographers Gallery this Friday 7th, 6-8 pm for Photo Scratch’s first in-person event since 2020.
I’ll be sharing my work with some photographers, including;
last month, I was a guest judge for the BBC Three’s TV show “Hungry For It” (S1/E7) in this particular episode, I worked with the contestants to create a stylised shoot, shooting the food that they baked and advising them how to create a “Social Media Stopper” image so that people could stop on socials and be inspired. As a result, the contestant who styled the best shoot on the day would then win a one-on-one masterclass with me. The contestants created some really impressive work, which can be seen in my previous post here, however, the winner of this Food Photography challenge was Amelia Ng - with this shot below.
I worked with Amelia after the episode at Backgrounds Studio as part of her prize I shared with her some insights into Food Photography and went over the steps of how to produce a food editorial-styled photo from start to finish. We drafted a mood board together with ideas of food, colours, props and the overall mood of the image. We decided to go with a Pop “Sweet Treats” theme as you can see. Amelia baked all the food prior to the shoot day so that we had time to focus on the props and styling of the set. Once we were happy with where the story was going, we then went to Backgrounds and picked props out for our shoot prior to the shoot day, so we had a fair idea of what we wanted to shoot ahead of time. Here are the photos that we shot on the day.
Below are some personal photos of us at Backgrounds Studio and on the shoot.
Earlier this year, I was commissioned by Faber and Faber to shoot a portrait for one of their authors Will Ashon for the release of his new book the passengers. The image was shot in my popup studio at the Faber and Faber HQ in London.
Last month I was commissioned by Project Management Institute to shoot a portrait of Lovy Bhatia for their Future 50 article. I shot these images of Lovy at the Barbican. Here is a selection of my favourite images from the day.
It was lovely to appear as a Guest Judge on BBC Three’s latest TV show “Hungry for It” this yesterday which can be seen in my previous post. Here are the photos that I shot with the contestants on the day, as part of their challenge. Congratulations to Amelia Ng for winning this challenge, I’m looking forward to working with Amelia in future and having a one-on-one marterclass session as part of her prize.
It’s finally here! “Hungry For It” Food Photography Episode at 8:00 pm tonight, on BBC Three where I will be appearing as a guest judge for the semi-finals, working my magic behind the camera and working with the contestants on a Photoshoot.
Last month I was commissioned by Kozy Home Styling to shoot some lifestyle photos for their website. Here is a selection of my favourite images from the day.
Last week I was commissioned by Brandnation to shoot an event for ”Withu” - an audio fitness app. The event took place at Skygarden, London. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day.
