Recipe Book Photo Shoot

I recently worked with Zena Weeks, Private Chef to Premier League Footballers, to create the photos for her new cook book - Recipes for Performance Sports. 
It is always a pleasure to work with chefs and food producers to stage their dishes and get the best photographs of their creations. Food photography is about finding the best way to communicate flavours in a visual way; finding the right props and appropriate colours for the background and then a little bit of styling and most important lighting the food so that it looks most appealing. I love to work with natural light but this is a luxury and in most cases not an option or simply not predictable enough so I do use artificial lighting but I try to use it in a way that mimics natural light so that it is not at all obvious that the food was not shot next to a window. Here are a few of the shots I took for Zena's book...
