Unleashing flavour & igniting your brand, one mouthwatering
shot at a time

HI I’m Lou!

A food and drink photographer based in the Cotswolds, where I capture the flavour-packed stories behind every bite. From mouthwatering dishes to the passion of independent producers, I specialise in making your food and drink look as good as it tastes. Serving the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, South West UK, and beyond, I’ll create images that turn heads, spark cravings, and make your brand truly shine.

Let’s make something delicious together!

So, you’ve got amazing food and drink, or a killer brand. But how do you make sure everyone else sees it the way you do? That’s where I come in. Whether you’re an independent producer, an artisan brand, or a restaurant, bar or cafe, I’m here to help bring your story to life.

We’ll work together to showcase what makes you you – all the little details that make your food and drink worth talking about. No more ‘meh’ photos or generic shots. Let’s create visuals that get people talking, sharing, and, most importantly, buying.

Ready to stand out? Let’s chat and turn your vision into something mouthwatering.
