CAPTURING stories of

taste, place & moment


Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Lou, photographer and visual storyteller creating imagery that does more than look beautiful. My work helps brands connect, inspire and invite people to pause and savour.

Whether I’m capturing a carefully crafted dish, an atmospheric space or the quiet details that make a moment memorable, I believe great photography stirs emotion. Every project is a chance to tell a story – rooted in taste, place and feeling.

Let’s create something unforgettable together!

Hi, I’m lou

FOOD, DRINK & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER


Based in the Cotswolds and working across the UK and Menorca, I’m a food, drink and lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing the quiet stories behind every brand.

Whether I’m working with independent producers, restaurants or creative teams, my approach is warm, collaborative and rooted in authenticity. I believe that great photography doesn’t just showcase what you do – it brings to life the textures, light and feeling that make your brand unforgettable.

My

Style


I’m drawn to the quiet magic of things we often overlook – the gleam of a just-poured sauce, the warm hush of a kitchen before service, the imperfect beauty of a handmade object, the way a place holds its own story. My work is rooted in capturing these moments with warmth, texture and intention.

I take a crafted, collaborative approach to every project, blending natural light, rich tones, and subtle storytelling. Whether we’re working with food, drink, or lifestyle imagery, I focus on photographs that feel genuine and atmospheric—inviting your audience to slow down, take notice, and connect in a meaningful way.
