Another Ocado Van spotted with my photo of Raspberries

Last year I took a series of photographs for Ocado, they were close-ups of veg and fruit. My favorite is the Raspberry one, looks really sharp and luscious close up!

Nice shoot location

Photographing the President of the AA in a posh room with portrait paintings on the wall and a chandelier hanging down from the ceiling! The location was The Royal Society situated by The Mall, London. It was a two day shoot where we also photographed Lords and MP's. 'Non standard' expressions and actions were the brief. The resulting b/w photographs are to be published in an over sized coffee table book.

I'm on BBC TV (again)

I appeared on the BBC's One Show on Tuesday 16th. It was a four minute feature on food photography tricks. Last May they spent a day filming me and my home economist at my studio in Hertfordshire. After hours of "cut" "retake" "can you do that again" "what does that do?" we finally finished filming and the production team left to edit about eight hours of video into four minutes.

You can see the show for a while on the BBC iPlayer, wind forward to 10:44 mins:
