Hi, I'm Karen

I work with a variety of food businesses from Food Producers,  Speciality food brands, Farm shops, Restaurants and Chefs.

 

Most of my work is shot in my studio in Shropshire where I photograph and style the food myself. I also often research, adapt and cook recipes to go with food products that are delivered to my door. I am drawn to an earthy rustic style, bordering on the painterly but I also work with a lot of brands that have a totally different look, part of the fun is discussing  the vision of a company's brand so we can create images that fit with it.  I live with my family and an assortment of dogs, sheep and hens on a farm in Shropshire. My very practical husband has converted an old barn into an office and studio where I do 90% of my work. My work is angled towards local, seasonal and thoughtfully sourced food. I tend to work with brands that produce wholefoods or lightly processed foods like flour, honey and olive oil. I will only shoot food that is edible afterwards in order to avoid food waste and I use organic or good quality ingredients in my shoots. I am keen to promote home cooking and have an aversion to ultra processed foods
