Macro Photography

Capturing fine details is so important when showcasing work. A Macro lens lets you explore those fine details with a camera that your eye cannot see, this is what makes it so exciting.  It can let clients see the finesse of your hard work in fine detail at the same time as creating shots that match the style of your work be that elegant and traditional or fun and exciting.Here is an experimental shoot that I did a while back.

Time Out Mama Lan

TimeHop back to a food shoot I did for Time Out (https://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/mama-lan-1). I do love food photography and I put it alongside product photography as it is something that someone has created. A piece of art on a plate. I enjoy so much watching Masterchef and seeing the art and passion behind the plates of food. It can be quite hard getting that perfect shot which showcases the food off but bringing in extra elements such a chop sticks, hands, the soft wood you can really highlight certain colours and parts of a dish. I have to admit one of my worst nightmares in the photographs of plates of food you sometimes see on menus in cafes or abroad. It puts you off the food rather than drawing you in. Food photography wants to be light, fun and above all, just in reach so that you are hankering after that plate of food! 

Glitterbug Bakery

Glitterbug Bakery is a bespoke bakery based near Lewes, East Sussex. Proud owner Karen Brown bake cakes that can be gluten free, diary free, wheat free and vegan.  They bake cakes to order and deliver them nationwide. I had always thought that having a dietary requirement takes the fun out of sweet treats but Glitterbug have put the fun back in them. They not only smell and look divine but are exceedingly tasty.Karen invited me to photograph her bakery and I managed to take some sneaky pictures of her as well! https://glitterbugbakery.co.uk/about/
