/ McDonalds
McDonalds asked me to come in and shoot some new images to go alongside their student deals. Order any main meal and get a free mcflurry, cheeseburger or chicken sandwich. Props by the brilliant Jess Elcock, Food from the amazing Elaine Ngang.
/ Lurpak Mini Blocks
I was recently commissioned by Lurpak to create four brand new recipe films for digital content. We shot for both landscape and portrait outputs making the most of a Mobile First approach. To do this we used a split screen technique that allowed more beautiful food moments to feature on screen at once. Production by the fantastic team at Food Hall, food by queen of Lurpak Katie Giovanni.
/ Jim Beam - Jim’s Garden Party
A couple of months back the booze pros at White Label commissioned me to shoot a little street food selection for Jim Beam. Jim is throwing a series of Garden Parties around the country through the summer and along with his own high ball serves, the guys at Ghetto Grillz are serving up some Salt Beef bagels to blow your mind!
/ Just Eat
For years Just Eat has used only stock imagery and in an attempt to tighten up their branding and create a photographic guide they commissioned me to create this initial set of three images for use across their website. Shooting so they can work on all devices so shooting for portrait, landscape, wide banners and square is always a challenge but I think they look great.
/ Honest Louisiana
Honest Burgers have brought back this beauty: The LouisianaThe beef has been dry rubbed in a special Cajun spice mix, giving a little bit of heat and a smokey undertone. Adding to this they have got a homemade smoked ketchup, fried onions and their signature pickles with some American cheese and smoked bacon. It's balanced, smokey and packs a little hit of cayenne from the Cajun rub. This is going down as one of my all time favourites.
/ Shortlist - How To Eat Beer
This week in Shortlist is everything you need to know about eating beer. That's right - it's a thing. Chef Andrew Clarke of Black Skulls Biker Cafe - Jim's Cafe in Clapton has prepared some delicious recipes to make the most of the best craft beers around.

/ The Balvenie / Secrets of the Stock Model
The Balvenie commissioned me to create a film following a script and story of games matching with the moves and decisions a malt master makes when distilling whisky.

/ Sainsbury’s Christmas Food Ordering
Earlier this year I was asked to team up with my former mentor, one of the most respected food and drink photographers & directors in the business Mr Gus Filgate.
Gus kindly shared out the Sainsbury's Christmas Food Ordering campaign, leaving me with a technical challenge of shooting in the style had Gus created early on. Shooting everything from joints of meat to sharing platters and desserts we created a beautiful collection of images that hopefully entice the tastebuds heading towards the 25th of December.

/ Honest Burgers Specials
HotBox are legends of the London barbecue scene. They started out as street food traders, learning the ropes at Street Feast before opening their first restaurant in Spitalfields in 2015. HotBox’s incredible pulled pork is so delicious and so simple – just pork collar, rubbed with sugar and spice, smoked for 16 hours over smouldering hickory and oak.

They have launched the Cambridge burger Served in Cambridge Only, Beef, Baron Bigod brie, smoked bacon, apple & onion chutney, pickles and mixed leaves.
