Cake. And eat it.

Let’s be honest, there aren’t too many jobs that come with perks these days.

Corporate governance and the Taxman have put paid to that. However, working as a food photographer is one of the exceptions.

 

 

You’re on location (or in the home studio) and the client has naturally presented you with the very best of what they make, produce, sell etc. It’s my job to do justice with the camera but what happens to all that delicious fare at the end of the shoot? Yep, you guessed it.

Over the course of the last few months, I’ve consumed the finest Rye Bay scallops, sampled sumptuous cupcakes, devoured Dover Sole and washed it all down with pints of Kent’s finest real ales. Well, it would be rude not to. Last week was no exception. I’ve been working for a major client that likes to COOK.
