R Sembi Photography
My name is Rajan Sembi and I am a Multi -Award Winning Photographer (SWPP 2018, Foodelia 2020).
As a BA Photography graduate (2012), I am highly qualified in my field.
My career began as a wedding photographer, however I also explored several other areas of photography which included working with celebrities on fashion photo shoots!
Aside from my love for photography, I also have a love for food! As a "foodie", I found my true passion in photography as a food specialist.
I have created content for Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo, as well as well-known chains, such as Subway. My creativity and passion for my art is clearly illustrated in the mouth-watering photographs themselves!
