Food Photography

This was a project for one of my food clients for their Ethnic Cook at home ‘Meals-In-A-Box which makes cooking these meals not only easy but also a learning experience – everything is from scratch and takes no longer than any other meal to prepare.

  • Food Prepare by published Chef, Nitisha Patel (insta: @chef_nitisha).
  • Food styling: was a joint effort by the both of us.
  • Requested editing style: The client requested images a dark moody feel.

Happy 2nd anniversary, Fab UK Magazine

What a party this was! My first time in a room full of fashion enthusiasts and photographers and the Zoo was packed.

Back in June, this celebration started as I guess most would, with the Step and Repeat Wall photos that lead into the main area for drinks and a bit of networking and being papped.  Then our hostess, Sheena, welcomed everyone and went straight into the Miss Fab UK 2018 fashion show featuring clothing from Designer Venera Tabakin.

I just wanted to say massive thanks to Founder and Director of Fab UK Magazine, Cem and Starbelle Founder and Director, Isabelle for inviting me and my camera along – I got some great images that will be featured on the next issue!!! whoop whoop

Read all about it: dbp images make it into a printed publication!!

Teaming up with FAB UK‘s Editor and Music/Lifestyle Journalist Isabelle De Polla, we popped along the to  Glitterbox exhibition in January at the Jealous Gallery in Shoreditch – the article was posted online here and has now gone to print in their recent quarterly magazine!! whoop whoop.

For those not in the know (including myself), Glitterbox is a well established new disco night based in Ibiza by Defected and this exhibition featured some amazing images from these nights.

Lumiere London

This weekend, sites in London city were lit up with artistic lighting installations.

From Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st, locals and visitors had the chance to explore London in a different way, visiting installations (everything from still structures with changing tones to projections accompanied by music that enhanced the mood) and enjoying Winter Markets and activities complete with Street Food Stalls, Music, Mulled Wine and, if you can find them, Espresso Martinis!

I managed to take a walk through the Kings Cross, South Bank, Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square sites and this is what I saw…

A Wedding in Jamaica…

Nothing makes me happier than photographing weddings.  They’re hard work but having the opportunity to be apart of so many happy occasions is a blessing…  But wait.  When you add to that the fact that you’re in Jamaica and then add that it for two amazing friends… The happiness goes through the roof!!

Congrats Em & Tom xx
