With over a decade of experience capturing and sharing the culture of hospitality, my work focuses on food photography, restaurant storytelling and creating visually rich, engaging content for digital platforms.
Through a combination of editorial style imagery and thoughtful narrative, I aim to showcase not just what’s on the plate, but the atmosphere, people and stories behind it.
I’ve been creating food and drink content since 2010, working across photography, writing and social media. My content spans restaurant features, brand collaborations and creative campaigns, with a particular focus on independent and experience - led hospitality.
Alongside this, I have a growing focus on wine and wine tourism, working with several online wine retailiers and recently becoming a member of the International Wine Media Association. I am currently working through WSET qualifications and am an active member of several local wine education groups, which informs my approach to creating thoughtful, accessible wine content.
I’m also the creator and host of Excellent Taste, a podcast exploring memorable dining experiences and the emotional connections we build around food and drink.
In addition to my solo work, I co-founded You’re So Cool Media, a project supporting independent hospitality businesses by providing high-quality photography for their marketing and digital platforms. I also offer additional digital marketing and brand consultancy services, using my skills gained from 16+ years in the food and drink promotional industry and my professional roles in marketing and graphic design.
I’m currently expanding my focus into video and food tourism, capturing destinations through a refined, immersive lens. I’m particularly drawn to collaborations with luxury food, drink, travel and food tourism brands, creating considered, visually led content that expresses a distinct sense of place and identity.
With a background in modelling and fashion, my work is shaped by a strong eye for composition, style and detail, bringing a polished, editorial perspective to the food, travel and lifestyle space.
