"The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh.” – Edward Weston. This is how Sue sums up how she feels about her food and drink photography.

Recent projects have included work for Batchelor’s, Bifi, Bisto, Mr Kipling, Paxo, Tesco, McDonald’s, Warburton’s and Sue is currently thoroughly enjoying shooting a series of cookery books to be published in 2022.

"Perks of the job  - being asked to photograph stylish cars in stylish locations... although perhaps Corby might be pushing it a bit.

A busy start to 2021 with some great projects for some great brands such as Ferrari, McLaren, Honda and a 10-metre-long electric bus and van for Arrival - not only lots of stills but also collaborating with a great team to create short films for Jaguar, Lotus and McLaren which was super fun, and the results speak for themselves."
