A to Z

For a while now most of my photography has been to a brief.  It's my job to deliver to clients a set of pictures which conform to their brief for a new product, a refurb of a hotel, a recipe, an event or a portrait.  And that's all good, I love that...

Eating flowers

Going back a few years, the notion of eating flowers was something I found a little hard to swallow.  Parma Violets, the nastiest of all sweets from my childhood, were an anomaly on an otherwise delicious sweet shop shelf; they tasted of your Granny's talcum...

Snowdrops

Finally it feels like Spring might be daring to poke its welcome head up over the parapet.  While I really believe that there is something to love in every season, I am more than ready to wave goodbye to the hardness of winter this year and run headlong into a...

Click, Eat, Repeat

See the food, photograph the food, eat the food.   When I tell people that I am a Food Photographer, that is pretty much how they imagine I spend every day.   I wish that were true!  Aside from the fact that a large part of my week is spent...

The 25 days of Sugar and Spice

I think most people in this day and age make at least an effort to make their day-to-day diet a healthy one.  As adults we are, sadly, expected to choose greens over cakes as a matter of course.  But for me December is an "all bets are off" kind of month, and I barely...

Chickens and a Cowshed

I love Interior shoots; the chance not only to SEE inside some of the most interesting houses in the UK, but also to rearrange their furniture and contents to suit the shot, if only I had the time to create that magic on my own neglected house! The owners are often as...

Light and Space

There is an incredible photographer I admire called Richard Barnes, (http://www.richardbarnes.net) whose work hangs in such hallowed places as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library and the Harvard Photographic Archive.  He photographs interiors...

Seafood and eat it

So, my attempt at the 5:2 diet is going badly, but in my defence I would have to have the willpower of a shark in a fish tank to turn down the feasts that I photograph.  I was recently asked by Crumbs magazine (www.crumbsmag.com) to head to Nailsworth to meet the...

TESTIMONIALS

"I’ve worked with Kirstie on a multi-issue photo-led series for the past seven years. She’s creative, organised and adaptable – so pretty much a dream contributor to my magazine. Each year we plan the features, then she styles and shoots the seasonal pics and never misses a deadline. My picture editor and I enjoy working with her very much."

Lisa Sykes
Simple Things magazine editor

"Kirstie is a truly inspirational photographer. She has been to Vale House Kitchen numerous times, is always very professional and comes with a huge wealth of photography knowledge. It is hard to find someone that takes a better picture, especially of food, which is no mean feat. We would 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a specialist in this field."

Bod Griffiths
Vale House Kitchen

"Kirstie is a dream to work with. She’s warm and friendly, always happy to rework shots to fit the brief – or the whim of the cook – more closely, and efficiently delivering exquisite photographs."
