From a carefully composed plate at Hiakai to a shared table in Milford Sound and fish and chips on a Northland road trip. Food photography with colour, texture and a sense of being there.
Start with the appetite
Food is full of small details worth slowing down for: the shape of a plate, a flash of colour, light catching a sauce, someone reaching across the table. I like to get close enough that you can almost taste it.
This is a collection from different shoots, brought together by that same approach. There is beautifully considered food at Hiakai, generous tables at Milford Sound Lodge, and the easy pleasure of a food stop on a Roady trip.
The plate and the experience
I move between clean overhead compositions, close details and wider scenes with people in them. Some dishes want a quiet frame; others come alive with a little movement around the table.
Alongside the restaurant photography, you will find a few editorial moments from my WellingtonNZ / Bauer Media work. Different places, different food, but always an eye on what makes you want to pull up a chair.
