Hi, I’m Chloe, an award-winning food and drink photographer and director working across the UK and worldwide, creating advertising and campaign imagery for brands and agencies, as well as cookbooks and editorial work for publishers. My work has appeared everywhere from billboards around the globe to milk cartons on your local supermarket shelves.

I’m known for my attention to detail, and I love shaping light and building authentic worlds for hero products to live in. My work blends hyper-real details with real world settings, creating bold, rich images that feel natural and look delicious.

Creating appetite appeal is a huge part of what I do. Making food and drink look genuinely irresistible is quite literally my job, whether thats a glossy drip, a scatter of crumbs or a perfect pour caught at the right moment. Those are the details I obsess over, along with a perfectly placed highlight.

Behind all that is a very technical way of working. I’m always thinking about continuity across campaigns and where the images are going to end up, whether thats on pack, in print, online or anywhere in between. I shoot modularly, work closely with trusted retouchers and build in the kind of flexibility that helps a campaign keep growing.

I work across stills and motion, leading productions where the visual language needs to live in both formats. I like being involved at every stage of a project, collaborating with creatives, art directors and stylists to make well-crafted imagery with clever people who care deeply about what they do.

If I’m not on set, I can usually be found renovating my house by the sea or somewhere on the west coast of Scotland frying cheese toasties while trying to outrun the midges.
