Strawberry Splash
This image was developed for use with the food photography side of the business and has become quite widely recognised since we started using it a few years ago.
Photographing Chocolate
Photographing chocolate can present challenges. If you aren’t careful with regards to lighting, the chocolate can take on an almost plastic look. Not particularly conducive to one of the world’s most renowned romantic food items.

Food photography depends very much on good light, and yet the textures, shapes and form can respond extremely well to quite a simple lighting setup.
Food Photography in West Yorkshire
