Lou Carruthers

Hospitality Photographer


Some things are felt before they’re noticed – the light in a room, the weight of a glass, the quiet care behind a plate. I photograph hospitality with an eye for the details that shape how a place feels. Based in the Cotswolds, I work across the UK and Menorca with boutique hotels, independent restaurants and craft producers.
