I was recently invited back to The Park Lane Intercontinental Hotel, the Queen's childhood residence and probably one of the best located hotel in town, the Intercontinental is a five star beauty. Having photographed the lovely Theo Randall in his restaurant there earlier this year the marketing team have commissioned me to shoot their afternoon teas on a few occasions now. As we have been shooting some healthier January teas that can't yet be revealed, here is one I did earlier, The Chocolate Afternoon Tea.

#TakeOnChristmas is the Lurpak motto this year. They are looking to inspire the nation to up the stakes and make Christmas dinner like it's never been made it before. I was commissioned to shoot some recipes styled and written by the charming & talented Rosie Scott. Mince pies, turkey - lots of firm festive favourites.

Earlier this month I was commissioned by the folks at Tesco to shoot some stills to accompany their Dinner Tonight YouTube series.

Shooting on a small set alongside the motion set, I had to move incredibly quickly to capture the dishes and talent in the Tesco kitchen. I do like a challenge.

This month for Esquire Russell Norman makes Malfetti. Roughly translated from Italian it means "badly formed". However they are not deserving of their name, these gnocchi-like morsels, all dimpled and green are absolutely perfect. 

Another of my recipes, this time for Chocolate Ice Cream that is rich and delicious and requires no ice cream maker just a bit of whisking and freezing? It can't be true surely? Believe me... it is!

In September I was invited to a beautiful barn in Southward to shoot some new festive recipes for Weight Watchers' Christmas campaign. Subscribing to their 80/20 rule of being good eighty percent of the time allowing for treats twenty percent, these recipes help make that eighty percent more exciting. There's some lovely berry & vodka fizz, a pomegranate and clementine trifle and a delicious curry, a boxing day favourite.

Street Feast has opened another fantastic new site in Canada Water. It’s a huge disused ware house turned into a street food haven with all of the favourites, smokestak, breddos, rola wala. They call it… Hawker House.

I was recently contacted by the family owned cafe ‘Printworks Kitchen’ in Clerkenwell, to come up with a warm Winter salad to add to their menu. The only stipulations being that the ingredients should be seasonal and available locally.

The latest shots from one of my regular clients: Street Feast! They have opened a colossal night market in Shoreditch named DINERAMA. It's open for a limited time on Friday and Saturday Nights.

A recent commission for Esquire, shooting the charming David Silva of Balthazar London creating cocktails. Brian is championing sherry and is a big big fan of vermouth.

That means this month Russell Norman is creating a dish that is a little more festive. Here he makes a delicious treat for Christmas morning, Beetroot Cured Salmon, served as crostini. This accompanies his Reluctant Cook column in Esquire UK where he discusses the various ways to survive Christmas; his being to lock yourself in the kitchen and no matter how many times any one should ask... No he doesn't need any help!!!

It's almost Halloween so it only seemed appropriate to so something seasonal. I'm not one for the spooktacular or any talk of sinking your fangs into a recipe. I've gone seasonal and for the down right obvious. Pumpkin, it's damn right delicious and a great carb option for any meal. I've also included my favourite spirit, Tequila, to give a flavour of Mexico's Dia de los Muertos. Margheritas are traditional but i've chosen to give it a little more spice with some added jalepenos. Arriba Arriba!

In my house growing up roast chicken was a staple. My Dad wasn't a great fan as it has a tendency to go a bit dry and can be a bit flavourless. (That said, I think my Mum's chicken is the bee's knees.) This is my favourite way to cook chicken, it keeps it extra moist so that it eventually just pulls apart. Just make sure you save any juices to drizzle back over your final dish as a gravy.

Beer in your dinner? What's not to love?

Belvedere’s resident mixologist has invented the Shortlist Spectre Martini for their Bond Issue. I was on hand to shoot hero mixologist Liam Cotter at the downstairs bar in Hawksmoor Spitalfield.

Commission for Weight Watchers Magazine based around Gizmos and Gadgets used in recipes.

I’ve recently been asked to shoot work with a softer editorial feel, as opposed to the typically bold graphic shots I have been tasked with in the past. Every photographer has their own way of creating images, their own eye and the way they like to make pictures. Yes you have to fill a brief but ultimately if you have been chosen to do a job then it’s largely because of the body of work you have created already. I’ve been keenly trying to establish my style that fits within the editorial Jamie Oliver, Good Food, Cookbook world as I think there is a place for daylight feeling images but with a cleaner more contrast based edge

The latest in my series of Russell Norman for Esquire magazine. For his column The Reluctant Cook, Russell talks bread, its a staple every man needs to know how to make.

Each month I shoot the lovely Russell Norman cooking classic Italian Recipes in his kitchen in Kent for his column The Reluctant Cook in every months Esquire. This week it's baked squash served with cured ham.

Thursday 27 August 2015 was Mr Hyde’s third National Burger Day and Big Eater threw another EPIC party to celebrate. You guessed it - this year was even bigger and better than before with 18 sensational sliders from some of London’s best burger chefs (plus a special guest from the States), 10 great bars and two All-American burger desserts. Plus Burger Piñatas, a Pickle Eating Contest, and much more.
