Styling

In addition to her work as an author and demonstrator, Louise is also a food stylist working for leading agencies and photo studios both in London and in the West of England.

The food stylist (or home economist) is an essential part of the team that is needed for professional food photography. He/she is responsible for making the food look more photogenic, preparing the food and doing what it takes to make sure that it looks its best for the camera. There are many tricks and techniques that good food stylist can employ, that a chef would not think of doing. A chef makes food to taste good and to look good - a food stylist focuses only on making it look good. This can save a great deal of time and money during a professional shoot.

If you are a restauranteur or food producer wanting to better promote your products or services with stunning professional images, Louise is pleased to help, either by preparing the food or in putting together a team to do the whole project.

Here are a few samples from Louise's recent photo stylng projects.
