A hearty autumn stew recipe for the change of season Whilst September brings a change of season, crisper mornings and nights drawing in, it also brings an abundance of produce. Harvest is at its peak, with the last of the summer tomatoes alongside the first of the autumn vegetables. This autumn stew recipe is a great one for this time of year, making use of those last tomatoes to create something hearty and comforting, with a zest of citrus cutting through the richness and ad

Capturing the Craft and Process Behind a Product Part of what I love about photographing handmade products is the chance to meet the people behind them and see how things are made. My interest in making goes back to my time studying 3D Design & Craft at Brighton University, where I was introduced to a wide range of materials and processes, from wood and metal to ceramics and plastics. Along the way, I met many talented makers and craftspeople, some of whom are still creating

The brief was to create a simple, seasonal summer dessert using peaches, photographed alongside Oatly whipping cream. I wanted the imagery to feel natural, bright and inviting, while capturing the textures and details of the finished tarts. These Frangipane Tarts wi

I’ve been enjoying growing a few things to eat in the garden this year. Lots of fresh herbs, some wild strawberries, beans and a collection of tomatoes. The tomatoes have been ready a little earlier than usual, so I made this easy summer tomato salad recipe with chopped capers, olive oil, lemon and plenty of fresh mint, finished with sea salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Easy summer tomato salad recipe You’ll need: Ripe tomatoes Chopped capers Juice of ½ lemon A d

Styling product photography for independent brands is about more than presenting work clearly. It’s about creating images that feel natural and story-led, helping customers imagine how pieces might be used, gifted, and lived with in their own homes. Product photography for independent makers: lifestyle and studio balance Lifestyle product photography plays a key role in this, showing pieces in real-life settings and bringing a sense of context and atmosphere. Alongside this,

Handmade ceramic tableware was the focus of this shoot, styled in a minimal lifestyle setting to highlight form, texture and use. My approach was to create a minimal, lifestyle-led scene that allowed the pieces to feel considered but still natural. Rather than filling the frame with props, I wanted to use a small number of carefully selected ingredients and objects to suggest how someone might live with and use these pieces in their own home. To build the scene, I styled the
