Scott Grummett
London
Scott Grummett is a photographer and director best known for images that make you hungry. He delivers a bold, graphic style and moments that feel genuinely human.
First there is 'Feel Good Food', a celebration of small moments in food that simply feel good. It is unusually less about taste and hunger and more about texture, pulling the strings where your brain fizzes and pops to create a kind of food based visual ASMR.
Then there is a project celebrating Walkers, also known as Lays. Scott and his team focused on iconicity, using the brand’s colours and ingredients to create simple, delicious visuals that are easy to read and unmistakably Walkers.
Then there is McDonald’s World Heists, stealing the best menu items from around the world for the UK market.
And finally, a project for Nature Valley cereal bars. The brief was simple, oats and honey. Simple ingredients and a green palette, brought to life.
