Should You Study Food Photography?
Are food photography workshops really worth the time, effort and investment? In this blog post I share my honest opinion about who should consider them and who should steer well clear!
I’ve been sharing Spring-inspired vegan recipes on the blog these past few weeks and today I’ve created a recipe using two gorgeously seasonal ingredients - chives and radishes! Both are just so flavourful and abundant right now, so I combined them in this simple, yet delicious starter!
Read MoreAsparagus is in season right now here in the UK, so I felt it was the perfect opportunity to share this super quick, easy and delicious griddled asparagus lunch bowl idea! It’s vegan, packed full of plant-based protein and flavour and super quick to throw together with some key pantry and simple fridge staples like olive oil, garlic, store bought hummus, those herbs at the bottom of the fridge that are about to turn and so on, meaning you can enjoy the gorgeous weather, without losing time in the kitchen or fretting over what to cook.
Read MoreRhubarb is SO underrated and I can’t understand why! I mean, it’s a vegetable that acts like a super tart and delicious fruit and looks like Spring on a plate with a colour that ranges from blush to deep rich pink! Though there are 101 ways to eat rhubarb, my favourite is using it in an easy, simple warm crumble!
Read MoreWhat’s better than breakfast? A long, lazy, delicious vegan brunch!
Granted, you can enjoy this easy and adaptable vegan tortilla wrap recipe any time, but it’s so nourishing, filling - thanks to the beans, avocado and plantain - and packed full of plant-based goodness, that it’s best enjoyed at the start of the day, to ensure you feel energised and ready for an action packed weekend.
Read MoreAs food photographers, food bloggers and food content creators we have to face facts - the social media landscape is changing and with it, how we share content! Where once ‘only’ good photos and delicious recipes were needed to get noticed, we now need to know how to capture great photos, write stellar recipes and film drool-worthy video content - especially short form video content (think TikTok and Instagram Reels) - to ensure we stand out from the crowd!
But creating engaging short form videos, especially at scale and particularly in the food space where lip syncing just won’t do, can feel overwhelming, am I right?! That’s why Silvia and I came up with the idea for the March 2023 London food photography, food styling and reel creation workshop….

In today’s blog post I’d love to share the magical experience we had this summer with you!

Read MoreHow much should I charge for my food photography work? What kind of salary can or should I expect as a food photographer? These are questions I get asked by my ecourse students. mentoring clients and online community every single week! And, I understand why, it’s so confusing to know what to charge when there aren’t any set standards or any clear income guidelines available.
Many of the creatives I work with come to food photography after years in a 9-5 job, where salaries are generally streamlined, transparent and clear. The world of freelance work - especially the world of freelance food photography work (or any photography or creative profession, frankly), is much more muddled when it comes to one’s income. It’s why I wrote this bog post, to inform you what you can expect to make as a food photographer and answer as many of your money questions as I can in the process!
