About Me

Specialising in food photography allows me to combine my two great passions: delicious food and the creation of beautiful imagery. My commissions are from magazines, PR companies and directly from clients. This work ranges from creative images of prepared recipes to more technical ones of packaging and products. I mainly shoot using daylight or using daylight style flash photography.

I greatly enjoy the process of working with my clients and meeting and exceeding their brief whilst also contributing my own passion and creative ideas. I have an easygoing though professional approach and aim to provide my clients with consistently excellent, creative and technical imagery whilst offering a service which delivers value for money.

I have a large and varied collection of props for use on shoots and enjoy taking a hand in sourcing locations and propping shoots myself whenever necessary. Also, I am able to recommend some excellent home economists and food stylists with whom I have previously worked.

Based in central London I undertake shoots in studio or on location.

I am happy to discuss work of any photographic nature as I also do portraits, events and interiors more of which can be seen at www.charlottetolhurstphotographer.com.
