I’m a food photographer and food stylist based in the thrilling city of foodtopia which is London.
Shooting since the early 80s, photography has allowed me to explore a diversity of exciting new worlds. Yet food has always been as dear to me as butter to the French.
The kitchen is my third space, where I could spend hours on end shooting with gastronomic geniuses.
Besides shooting, I also enjoy rearranging restaurants in search of the best light and above everything else I love to skip straight to the dessert.

Halibut, Lettuce Velouté, Courgette, New Potato, Roast Golden Enoki. Beautifully plated by James, Head Chef at SALUT! in Islington, London and shot in daylight.
This dish was beautifully plated by Chef Oren at Goode & Wright. It was shot on location in natural daylight in Notting Hill, London.
The composition, colors and components of the plate perfectly encapsulate a city dwellers’ fantasy of the seaside. The entire dish comes alive with the broad brushstroke of squid ink lined with pristine white polka dots. It’s dynamic and gushes of the chef’s inspiration taken from the sea. It’s a masterpiece.
