Anna’s Easy Spring Recipes: Student recipes that don’t cost the Earth.

Anna Bainbridge

I am a photographer based in Wales, specialising in food photography. I have always been passionate about food and became interested in healthy eating and sustainability as an adolescent.

My cook booklet, Anna’s Easy Spring Recipes, is a collection of eight meals that aims to promote the benefits of a plant-based diet, specifically to students. The recipes are designed to be accessible, both in terms of cost and level of difficulty. In turn, I hope to challenge myths that healthy eating is expensive, exclusive, complicated, and tasteless.

The imagery in the cook booklet has a coherent visual language, reflecting my philosophy when photographing food. I believe less is more and have not overdressed any of the final dishes I photographed. My intention was to photograph and style the food in a way that looks attractive and appetising, in the hopes that this would make my audience excited about trying plant-based meals.
