Food styling & assisting

I’m a London based food stylist working across a range of media such as editorial, TV, video and social media campaigns. I have styled for various clients including Pilgrims Choice, Premiere Foods, Ocado, La Tua Pasta, Disney and more.

I have been very fortunate to have assisted, and continue to assist, some of the best commercial food stylists in the industry. These include Rob Morris, Tanya Sadourian, Laurie Perry, Lola Faura, and many more for brands such as Waitrose, Dominoes, M&S Food, Just Eat, Lidl, Fortnum and Mason, Tanqueray Gin and Sainsbury’s. You may have also spotted my hands in many a video too, slicing, dicing, stirring and cooking up a storm for Waitrose, M&S and Tastemade UK!

I am available for food styling & assisting, as well as hands for stills, videos and social media ads. Please drop me an email so we can work together.

Recipe writing & development

I love experimenting in the kitchen creating new recipes and dishes. I’ve written, tested and developed a vast number of recipes for brands such as Tesco Magazine, Knorr, La Tua Pasta and 1800 Tequila and Tastemade UK.

Ready to explore sweet to savoury, Asian to Italian, smoothies to cocktails! I can develop specific recipes for businesses such as artisan producers, deli’s & cafes and fitness & nutrition coaches. If you have a specific product that you’d like to create a range of recipes for, please email me to discuss.

Consultation & content creation

This service is perfect for restaurants, caterers and food businesses. Working in partnership with their in-house chefs, I assist in guidance and advice to elevate their food for beautiful photography that can then be used for the menus, marketing, website or social media. Check out the case studies to learn more about this service.

I work with a network of photographers, videographers, producers and prop stylists so can pull in a team depending on your project needs. I am also happy to collaborate with brands to create content for websites, blogs and social media.
