What I Shoot

As a Leicester food photographer, I don’t just photograph finished dishes – I capture the full experience of your restaurant:

  • Your food – Beautifully lit, naturally styled dishes for menus, websites, and delivery apps like Deliveroo
  • Your drinks – Cocktails, wine, beer, coffee – capturing the pour, the making, the finished serve
  • Your kitchen in action – Chefs working the line, dishes being plated, the pass during service
  • Your team – The people behind the food. Portraits and candid moments of chefs, bartenders, front-of-house
  • Your space – Interiors, bar setups, the atmosphere that makes people want to visit
  • Behind-the-scenes content – Documentary-style shots perfect for Instagram stories and building trust with customers

One shoot gives you menu photography plus weeks of social media content. I provide full culinary photography services for Leicester restaurants and hotels, documenting not just your dishes but also your kitchen team, preparation process, and the authentic story behind your food.
