A review of summer photography projects 2014

Photographer Leeds Yorkshire Food Product Jewellery Fashion

A review of summer photography projects 2014.

As the summer draws to a close, it seems like a good time to look back at some of the great shoots and clients that I have been involved with.

One of the outstanding aspects of this summer has been the variety of projects which have found themselves in front of the lens.

Food photography, products of all kinds, everything from jewellery photography, packaging, fashion and something which is a sign of the times, a selfie stick!

We started the summer with a great shoot for a new UK apparel brand based in Leeds starting off with a selection of fashion product shots for their new website. Food photography then took centre stage & I had the great pleasure of working with an extremely well known brand in the ice cream market. Also a new entrant to online selling I carried out a large shoot for a fresh seafood supplier based in Yorkshire.

Product photography is always the corner stone for the commercial photographer and this was repeated with a large shoot for a jewellery retailer and many other shoots including cosmetics, packaging and even chocolate shoes.

Keeping cool in the summer with Kelly’s of Cornwall ice cream photography.

Kelly's of Cornwall Ice cream. Food Photographer Leeds Yorkshire 

4th July 2014

I had a great opportunity to work on an ice cream shoot recently. We had a fantastic day photographing a range of new products which celebrate the best of Britain’s fresh summer fruits from Eton Mess to Toffee Apple.

Each new food shot of the ice cream was given its own individual treatment with food props and appropriate styling to create the final look.

Working closely with the client, advertising agency and food stylist is key ingredient to a successful food photography session, prior planning and discussions as to how we go about presenting what is a challenging product is vital to a commercial photography project such as this going well.

These new images represent a new start for Kelly’s of Cornwall ice cream in the images that promote their products, these images and more can also bee seen in my food photography portfolio.


Working as a food photographer for the last 18 years has been a joy and if you ask anyone that knows me, I have a sweet tooth, so photographing ice cream was a dream come true.

I have worked with a large selection of clients from national brands such as Kelly’s of Cornwall to smaller independent local producers in Leeds and across the Yorkshire region.

National food brand commissions new food photography for website launch.

I have recently been working with Cauldron Foods and we've been working on a large series of images to cover the great variety of products within their range.

Starting with a selection of images creating different scenarios to emphasize the flavours and influences within each dish we set about creating the images for website and other marketing material.

Working closely with the client, advertising agency and food stylist, each image was fully researched and constructed so not only the food, but props, crockery and backgrounds reflected the finer points of the food photography brief.

These new images represent the back bone of the new Cauldron Foods website and facebook page etc.. and can also be seen in my food photography portfolio.

Working as a food photographer for the last 18 years has been a joy and I have worked with a large selection of clients from national brands such as cauldron foods, to smaller independent local producers in Leeds and across the Yorkshire region and UK.
