Mouth watering photos of food

Professional food photographer

Imaginations are sparked by every image I create, from delicious photos of food to mouth-watering videos of new recipe items. If you are looking for a professional food photographer in Australia that understands the art of creating appetising photos then stop reading this now & venture into my gallery. I was once told a person licked their screen when they saw some of my food photos. So try for yourself, drool over the images in my gallery, they tell a thousand words on their own.

Today’s society demands stunning visuals that draw people in, to create lust for incredible food dishes that drive visits to a restaurant, or a website, increase book sales or make people stop to absorb an advertisement. My creative food photography is used for any type of print or digital medium around the world - magazines, billboard advertising, books or promotional campaigns while easily be adapted for bespoke requirements.

Creating stunning and consistent visual media for food has become more important than ever before. People expect access to things from anywhere in the world and our lives are bombarded with so many competing food producers. Your audience, your ideal customer, is bombarded with promotional messages 24/7, I’m passionate about helping brands and agencies create exquisite photos of food that will break through the noise.

Quite honestly, I am a commercial food photographer in Sydney that has helped to generate millions of dollars each year. My entire career has been spent elevating food products, menus, new dishes, and the people who created them, using the visual power of beautiful, professional food photography. The best food photographers have learnt all the tricks together with their trained creative eye to know how to use textures, elements, lights and the properties of food when being photographed.

My belief is that food photos must be able to activate the senses and draw a viewer, like bees to honey, the moment they see an image of a dish - colours, textures, tones, depth, shapes and of course the scene. I want to make them feel like they can reach out and take a bite, that it was made for them, images that embody all the smallest details and intricacies from soft melted cheese oozing gently onto a plate to crisp vegetables freshly picked.

I can work with any type of agency as if I were one of your full-time staff, I slot right in without fuss & focus on delivering your brief, bringing your client’s ideas to life.

Effective food photography can transport the mind’s eye from an everyday activity like eating to thoughts of an extraordinary culinary experience. My creativity with scene composition, food styling, lighting and attention to detail can bring to life anything from rustic, homestyle cooking to a five hat Michelin star dish. Everything I create has a focus on delivering authenticity and character in an experiential setting that brings food to life, the idea that it is ready to be eaten right there and then, both art and science.

As you will see in my photo galleries I have been commissioned for professional food photography in Australia by food advertising agencies, public relations agencies, food and beverage brand managers, food book publishers, restaurants, and many others in Sydney and internationally. We have created those images in my photo studio with a kitchen in Alexandria, or at other locations to suit the brief.
