PEOPLE, PLACES + FOOD
PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YORKSHIRE AND UK HOSPITALITY AND FOOD BRANDS

Stepping across genres
I work confidently across different genres for hospitality and food commissions. Bringing food, portraits, interiors and lifestyle together to create a strong and detailed story.
Mouthwatering food
The last 12 months has been full of food commissions. I’ve continued to build on my styling experience to create some beautiful images alongside editorial style photography documenting chefs and producers at work.
Provenance
Farm to plate storytelling remains a core focus of my work. I adore capturing images that share the stories of the people, processes and expertise behind the food we eat. I also love to capture narrative around artisan craftsmanship that creates the interiors and decor details so key to guest experience.
The art of being authentic
My documentary and editorial style produces natural images which drive engagement. I’m a strong believer that it’s the details that matter and I love to capture the features that are unique to your business.
An eye for light
I am a location specialist who loves the challenge of finding or creating beautiful light, happily switching from field or factory to a portable food photography studio in a restaurant.

"Olivia was an absolute delight to work with and our brand ambassadors loved her"
“I selected Olivia to shoot our Michelin brand ambassadors, including Simon Rogan, Matt Abe and Gareth Ward, in their kitchens and off-site locations. Olivia was an absolute delight to work with and our brand ambassadors loved her. The results were amazing and are now being used across all social media platforms, on our website and in our catalogues, as well as by the chefs themselves. I have already scheduled more photo shoots with Olivia for next year”
