Story
Rich started out like most food photographers – on his own. He spent a long time crafting his style and, luckily, people liked what he did, so he got busy. The phone would often ring mid shoot, with demands for his time, so he hired someone to handle production. His clients appreciated his undivided attention. But it’s a lonely existence working for yourself, and he couldn’t service the demand so he got together with another talented food photographer, Tony. Working together they shared ideas and techniques, and shot for each other’s clients.
They shared equipment, backgrounds, studio, contacts – they had double the resources available to them. Their work got better, and they were able to keep the ideas flowing, keeping things fresh. Their clients noticed, and word spread.
Together they offer a unique way to commission food photography. One company that can do a bit or handle it all.
So they asked Roo to join them, then followed Kev, Andy and Tim. Today there are 6 food photographers collaborating, with unparalleled resources, creative talent and full production management.

Our food photographers Our photographers work as a collective, under one company. It’s a creative hub, where concept ideas are constantly bounced around the studio, styles and trends are debated over lunch, and the photographers are supported by each other and critiqued honestly, with amazing results.

Our clients
There’s an old
tradition that we love but seldom see these days. Down at your local pub, if you were a loyal customer, you would be rewarded with your own tankard behind the bar. Whenever you walked in, the landlord would reach for your tankard and pour out ‘your usual’. We wanted to make our clients feel special, so we adapted this tradition and now our clients have their own mug on our mug wall, each decorated by their own hand. Written on the bottom is their favourite brew – tea, two sugars, americano, black, no sugar...
