All of my food and drink work has been shot entirely on location, either in natural daylight or using a constant light source such as an LED light with adjustable colour temperature.

Session fees vary depending on what you need, and where and when we need to shoot it. Typically a half day (four hours) is around £750, and a full day is around £1,500. Very few food & drink photography shoots take less than a half day.

As standard I include unlimited in-house use (e.g. menus, brochures) and editorial use (e.g. a press release or an industry magazine article) and one year of paid use (e.g. advertising campaigns). I don’t include commercial use in a paid product, or the right to sell or sub-license images. If you need anything that’s not included we can usually arrange it for you.

As many as are needed to fill the brief you supply, and typically a few extras that we may have shot on the day and feel you might like.

Typically I provide edited high resolution JPGs. I can provide the raw files if arranged in advance, for clients who legitimately need to edit in-house – for example, to match a campaign style.

For shoots in central and SW London if I can travel light on public transport (i.e. cameras, lenses, simple lighting) travel is included. If I need to drive or take a taxi to carry equipment I charge related expenses such as parking, Congestion Charge, or taxi fees. For shoots outside London I charge a combined fee for travel time and expenses.
