Food, Beverage and Packaging
They say that 70% of diners base their selection on images of items and food photography takes careful planning and more than just a point-and-shoot camera. Without great photos, restaurants and manufacturers have nothing to distinguish themselves from everyone out there.
As a professional food photographer my goal is to capture high-quality images of food: to create visually appealing images of food that make it look appetising and attractive to customers.
As a classically trained chef, it is natural for me to work closely with chefs, restaurant owners, food stylists, and other professionals in the food industry to create images that showcase the best aspects of the food or packaging. My goal is to create sharp, well-lit images composed in a way that highlights the food’s texture, colour, and other important features.
As important as shooting the image, I'm also skilled in the editing and retouching the photos to ensure that they look their best.

Special Events, Travel & Tourism
As an Event photographer, my goal is to capture moments and scenes at various types of gatherings, such as parties, concerts, sports events, corporate functions, conferences, and more. My primary role is to document the event – its atmosphere, significance, and highlights – through photography, creating a collection of high-quality images that can be cherished and shared by you and your guests. In short, I produce a lasting visual record.
Here's a breakdown of what I typically do:
• Pre-Event Preparation – Before the event, I may meet with clients or event organizers to understand the event's objectives and schedule, and specific photography requirements.
• Coverage – During the event, event I move around to capture a wide range of images, from candid shots to posed group photos. I strive to document key moments, activities, and interactions among participants.
• Communication with Subjects – Sometimes the most challenging skill is to engage with event attendees, subjects, and clients to make them feel comfortable and to capture candid, natural expressions and interactions.
• Post-Processing – After the event, event I review and edit the captured images. This may involve retouching, color correction, and image enhancement to ensure the final photos meet your expectations.
• Delivery – I deliver the final set of edited images to you or the event organizers within the agreed-upon timeframe. These can include digital images, prints or keepsake books.
