Professional Food Photographer | Your questions answered

Professional food photography ensures your dishes look their best, with the right lighting, styling and editing to attract more customers.

High-quality imagery also builds trust, sets your business apart from competitors, and provides ready-to-use content for websites, menus, and social media.

In a half-day session I typically capture 12–16 dishes, while a full day allows for 24–30. The time can also be used flexibly to include interior shots, staff at work, or lifestyle-style imagery alongside the food.

Definitely! I regularly work across Rutland, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. I’m also available to travel further afield for projects across the UK.

For a half-day shoot, your edited images are delivered within 5 working days. For a full-day shoot, you’ll receive the complete gallery within 14 days.

Yes. Short video clips are available as an add-on to a full day package, giving you ready-to-use content for Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms.

Absolutely. I work with businesses of all sizes — from independent cafés and farm shops to hotels and restaurants. My half-day package is designed to be an affordable option for smaller businesses.

I recommend scheduling sessions on quieter days to minimise disruption. I work with minimal equipment and keep the process efficient, so you can carry on with service while we create the images you need.

Food photography sessions start from £295 (for a half-day shoot within Rutland). For projects further afield or larger-scale shoots, contact me for a bespoke quote.
