Food & Drink Photography
in Devon and Cornwall
Appetite-driven images for menus, websites and social media
Good food photography should make people hungry and help them decide where to eat. I photograph dishes, drinks and hospitality spaces for restaurants, hotels, pubs and food businesses across Devon and Cornwall.
Everything is photographed using the food you actually serve. I work efficiently alongside chefs and venue teams, keeping dishes fresh and disruption to a minimum. The finished images are supplied ready for menus, websites, booking platforms, social media and campaigns.

Restaurant and menu photography
From individual dishes to a complete seasonal menu, I create consistent images that show colour, texture and presentation clearly. The shoot can also include chefs at work, table details and wider restaurant views, giving you a useful set of photographs rather than a collection of near-identical plates.
Food and hospitality photography for hotels
Hotel dining is more than the evening menu. I can photograph breakfast, afternoon tea, restaurant dishes, cocktails, room service and the spaces in which they are served. Planning these together creates a consistent image library for your website, booking pages, brochures and seasonal marketing.
Food photography for pubs and gastropubs
Pub photography needs to feel inviting as well as appetising. Alongside dishes and drinks, I can capture the bar, dining areas, team and atmosphere that make your venue distinctive. The result is a balanced set of images for menus, listings, social media and local press.
Drinks, cocktails and bottle photography
Drinks bring their own technical challenges, from reflections in glassware to keeping ice, bubbles and garnishes looking fresh. I photograph cocktails, wine, beer and bottles with careful control of light and colour, producing images that work alongside your food photography or as a dedicated drinks shoot.
What to expect from your food shoot
Before the shoot, we will agree what needs photographing, where the images will be used and how much can be achieved in the available time. On the day, I work with your chef or venue team to keep the session moving without losing the details that make each dish look its best.
- A practical shot list: We plan the priority dishes, drinks, people and spaces before the shoot.
- Efficient work on location: Lighting and compositions are prepared carefully so food spends as little time waiting as possible.
- A light touch with styling: I work with the food your kitchen serves, making small adjustments where needed without misrepresenting the dish.
- Ready-to-use files: Your edited photographs are supplied in suitable formats for print and digital use, with the delivery schedule agreed in advance.
