FOOD, DRINK & STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY Feb 2007

: Christine Hanscomb [London]

Christine Hanscomb's 'lifelong passion for food and photography' has not abated in the 20 years since she started.

She says that she is as excited as ever by the possibilities presented by new technologies and changing attitudes. Working from her studio in London, she has enthusiastically embraced the new digital era 'because of the speed and greater immediacy it brings'.

Recent clients include Haagen Dazs, Sainsbury and AMV BBDO. She has worked for most of the major advertising agencies in London, Paris and Milan - specialising in food and babies - for clients such as Nestlé, Campbell's, Marks & Spencer, Pampers, Waitrose, Tesco, Cow & Gate and Lindt.

Personal projects include creating a limited edition book 'Flavours of Italy' - hand-bound, hand-printed, available for purchase at £275.

She has also combined her love of underwater diving with her skills in baby photography - notably when she worked with Dr Francoise Barbira Freedman, the Cambridge medical anthropologist; together they produced two books of babies underwater.

Future projects include trips to China and Himalayas.
