An easy one for the colder evenings. 🌿 Inspired by Caribbean and Deep South-style collard greens, this dish slowly braises spring greens with warming spices and coconut keeping plenty of texture along the way.

Tony’s approach to prop styling was so distinct: his incredible eye for texture, his handmade backgrounds, his vast personal prop collection, and the genuine sense of warmth and collaboration he brought to every set.
You’ll never meet someone who cares about every brief the way Tony did.

He wasn't just a brilliant creative - he was a truly wonderful human being and friend.

Everything on social media is tuned for a reaction. Flashy transitions. Sudden zooms. High speed. I wanted to make a frame that lets you stop and watch. A single drop hitting cold liquid. The way oil floats on surface tension instead of mixing. No tricks. No artificial speed-ups.Just light catching fluid dynamics in real time. Precision isn't about being fast.It's about knowing exactly when to freeze the moment.

Do you prefer the quiet details or the fast cuts?

Shorts and Reels love high drama.
Screaming audio and dramatic reveals. I wanted to capture something grounded. The sound of a spoon dragging across stone. The gleam of chopped fruit bound in fresh oil. The shine of real fat under direct studio light. Food photography is about tactile memory. Reminding you what real ingredients feel like in a bowl. A moment of stillness in an endless scroll.

A little something to brighten up cocktail hour 🍸

This pomegranate gimlet brings together sharp citrus, sweet pomegranate and a crisp hit of gin — the kind of drink that looks as good as it tastes.

We're conditioned to keep scrolling. Swipe, swipe, tap, move on. I wanted to capture a moment that makes you hold still. Watching raw oil absorb into a split tomato. The weight of the pour. The gloss on the seed. Real ingredients don't need a heavy edit. They just need natural light and room to settle. Good food doesn't rush. Neither should the visual.

If lunch is going to be a sandwich, make it this one. Juicy lamb koftas with barberries, pine nuts and pul biber, loaded up with fresh herbs, pickles and pomegranate.⁠

Before the jars, the labels and the toast — just plums, vanilla, spices and a gentle bubble.

A shortcut to Baja. 🌮

Crispy fish, punchy toppings and the kind of organised chaos you want wrapped up in a warm tortilla.

A moment for the humble Savoy cabbage.

Often overlooked and far too often overcooked, Savoy cabbage has plenty to offer: crinkled leaves, a gentle sweetness delivered by the winter frost and enough texture to hold its own. As the seasons shift and we get ready for cosier dishes, this is one ingredient that deserves a little more attention.

Shot for Waitrose Magazine.
