Lou Carruthers Cotswolds Food and Drink Photographer

Hi, I’m lou

photography shaped by real experience in food, craft and hospitality


I work with boutique hotels, independent restaurants and craft drinks producers to create imagery that captures not only how a space looks, but how it lives and breathes – helping the right guests connect with your brand long before they arrive.

Calm, collaborative, and rooted in real understanding of food and hospitality, my work is designed to elevate perception, support marketing across seasons and remain meaningful long after the shoot.
