Richard Jung has crafted a career examining the beauty of food and visually telling stories about the people who grow it, cook it and ultimately enjoy it.

In the commercial world, he’s made films for Kikkoman, Schwartz, McDonald’s, Knorr, Nandos, Arla Foods and Heinz, among many others. He’s even succeeded in making Quorn look appetising.

Ned Gibbs is a photographer and director specialising in Food & Drink. He creates bright, bold and graphic imagery for use across all platforms.

Ned's work often explores the unseen, overlooked detail in the things we consume. This is exemplified by his recent film, 'Bubble World', where he explores what goes on inside your pint of beer, shown below.

Recently Ned has been creating work for Waitrose as well as for a variety of brands, from Small Beer to Heineken. The past year has seen Ned recognised by Hasselblad as one of 10 finalists in their Hasselblad Masters competition.

With a range of specialist equipment calling his studio home, such as a slow motion camera, the infamous probe lens and a 1000w stadium floodlight, Ned has agility and capability to produce top of the line work for budgets big and small.

"There has been a lot going on this year, with big changes to my work and studios along with changes in representation - streamlining and adjusting to new ways of working as the industry shifts and changes post covid.

So here is some recent work that has been as always a pleasure and honour to work on. From some TV commercials for Asda that went out in October, to some cocktails for M&S, launching their new drinks branding.

I have dipped my toe into the world of Ty-Phoo Tea, worked on some social films for Tesco and, as always, a few bits for editorial clients.

It has been a funny year for many in the industry, but it is always fun in the studio. With a new studio opening In Dorset, as well as the two I have in London, the future is exciting - always excited by new clients and working on new projects. Always up for a chat so, feel free to get in touch about new work."

"It has to make you hungry" is the mantra that Scott Grummett lives by in his work as a food photographer and director. Everything he shoots always has another challenge from crops to markets but the thing that binds it together is that you always want to eat the food.

Scott's recent work includes the new star studded McCrispy campaign. Tasked with the classic brief of making a McDonald's burger find the perfect balance of real and delicious, this campaign also had to push the envelope and appeal to Gen-Z too. There was also the task of making a day which covered all bases with some exciting social content too, so some kaleidoscope lenses and mirror boxes were built to make the vision complete.

Other recent projects include a project shot in Amsterdam for Cadbury, where tasty chocolate had to pair beautifully. with the real "Fabric Of The Nation" aesthetic.

Karen works with the very best food stylists in order to produce the high quality of work for which she is well known.

Karen fell in love with photography at a young age, and the passion has never left her. She loves nothing more than getting stuck in to an exciting project, whether it’s a big advertising shoot, editorial project or some of her own experimental work. It might be a busman’s holiday, but in her spare time, she loves nothing more than cooking!
