Photography & Fine Art Light Painting

Based in Devon and beyond, I collaborate with businesses, creatives, and independents who value consistent, thoughtful content, from fine art light painting, food, hospitality and lifestyle.

Every project begins with a conversation.
We look at what you have, what you need, and where imagery truly matters.
From there, a visual direction is established, followed by a defined scope and tailored quote.

Services

Light Painting
Light crafted imagery built through several exposures, movement, and intention. Each image is constructed rather than captured. Using controlled light to reveal form, texture, and atmosphere for brands, spaces, and objects that value depth and originality. This is a slower process controlling light in a pitch black room.

Food
Restrained, editorial food photography shaped by light and shadow. Focused on texture, surface, and craft. Created for restaurants, chefs, and food brands seeking imagery with weight, mood, and longevity. Good bye to trend setting.

Hospitality
Visual storytelling for intimate hotels, bars, and dining spaces. Capturing atmosphere, material, and quiet details to define a sense of place beyond trends or seasonal refreshes.

Motion (Selective)
Short, cinematic light-based films created with the same discipline as still work. Used sparingly to introduce movement and texture while preserving the integrity of the image. Great for knife skills, pouring, fire and all that sort of jazz.
