Most people come across my work through food, carefully crafted plates, rich textures, and the quiet story behind every dish. Food photography has long been a core part of what I do. But there’s another side to my work that’s just as important: business portraits.

Because behind every brand, every plate, and every business, there’s a person.

Over the years, I’ve worked with professionals who need more than just a “headshot.” They need images that reflect who they are, how they work, and what they stand for. Whether it’s a painter and decorator, a consultant, or a business owner, the goal is always the same: to create portraits that feel natural, confident, and real.

My approach to business portraits is shaped by my experience in food photography. Light, detail, and composition matter just as much when photographing a person as they do a dish. I look for the subtle things, the way natural light falls across a face, the environment that adds context, the small details that make someone recognisable and relatable.

I don’t overcomplicate it. No stiff poses. No forced expressions. Just honest, well-crafted images that people are proud to use across LinkedIn, websites, and social media.

Many of my shoots take place on location; workspaces, offices, or outdoors; where the surroundings help tell the story. And at this time of year especially, the natural light brings an added depth and warmth that you simply can’t replicate in a studio.

Food photography may draw people in, but business portraits are what connect them.

If your current images don’t feel like you anymore, it might be time to change that.
