Hello!!


I’m Katie. I am a photographer and video producer from Canterbury, Kent.

I love taking photos of food, lifestyle, outdoor spaces, restaurants and lovely places (holiday lets, retreats etc). Outside of taking photos and making films, I am a lover of the outdoors and spend all of my spare time with my two gorgeous golden retrievers and my husband. Sounds a bit obvious being a food photographer but I’m also a big foodie (shock horror) and my go to meal will always be a giant bowl of mac and cheese.

If you would like to reach out to chat about your project, please email me directly at:

A bit more about me…


PRODUCING

I am a passionate producer who has a drive to make films that tell emotive and compelling stories using strong visuals. Filmmaking is a collaborative process and for me, that is the only way good stories get told. My job is to bring together fantastic teams who all believe in a shared goal to create a brilliant piece of work.  

I have over 7 years of experience from hands-on producing and occasionally directing various multi-award winning narrative short films to producing music promos and branded content for many brands and clients (P&O, Robinson’s, MSD, Sanofi, Disney and Pandora) to name but a few.

Recent short films are A Different Place (a BFI funded short film) which recently screened at BFI Flare 2023 and Tin Luck, starring Samuel Adewunmi, supported by Pundersons Garden’sOne Stop Films and Kodak, directed by Beatrix Blaise and competed for Best UK Film at Academy Award & BAFTA Accredited Raindance Film Festival. Other recent films include Natives, directed by Siofra Campbell and starring Zoë Tapper, Andrew Brooke, Thomas Coombes, Clint Dyer and James Hillier and am currently working on two new short films and my first feature film.

FOOD AND LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

I specialise in both food and lifestyle photography, as well as recipe development, working from my home studio. I love harnessing natural light to create storytelling imagery but also have a full range of flash equipment for projects that require it. I offer a full-service experience, including editing in Capture One, and have produced asset imagery for POS, magazine editorials, websites, social media, and small businesses. Additionally, I shoot small product imagery, including clean, white background cut-outs.

Clients include: Oven Pride, Good Snack Co, Byron, Rustlers, Willy’s, Peperami, HUG pet food, Mighty Mushrooms, Silver Mushroom, Vegan Food and Living Magazine etc

I also love photographing spaces and places whether that be photographing your gorgeous hideaway for a secret escape or your outside event. I’m all about rewilding, nature, outdoor adventures, cozy retreats and authentic stories - so if that sounds like your space or place, do reach out.

Studio:

Location:

I love the outside and working outdoors being surrounded by nature. If you have a shoot that you want shaped by nature, requiring natural, earthy and where land and food imagery may meet, I would love to chat further. Furthermore, I also do inside location/studio work too.
