"Food Hall assembles award-winning teams to provide high-quality promotional content, performance direction and marketing solutions for food and drink brands across the world. We help create exceptional content for TV, online and social campaigns. 

This Showcase includes some of the latest work as well as the new signing of Louise Palmberg, a Swedish food director who works with beautiful colours, textures and compositions. Her visual work echoes a documentary look with a retro vibe that will make you feel like every hour is golden hour and every mouthful will taste better than the last. 

Last month, Louise was in London directing her first digital social campaign with Food Hall for the release of Baileys autumn selection. Working across motion, stills and gifs, her passion for food, and her professionalism really shone through. 

Louise’s clients include: Starbucks, Stella Artois, Grey Goose Vodka, The Cheesecake Factory, Cointreau, G.H. Mumm Champagne, Hard Rock Café, eBay, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Refinery29, Wall Street Journal, Eater, Culture Trip.   

In other news, the team at Food Hall were tasked with creating four films for Lurpak's social channels to advertise the new Lurpak Lighter. The brief was to show simple ingredients, a simple process and a delicious end product. 

We have a new showreel that packages up some of our latest projects. 

On the liquid front, we have been creating recipe films for cocktails at home with Johnnie Walker. Other recent campaigns for McDonald's and Maille can be found on our website.  

Food Hall celebrates good food and joyful eating. Always inclusive, always progressive, always delicious."

"We’re in Christmas mood already – with Lucid Representation photographers, Con Poulos and Tom Parker having shot the festive campaigns for Waitrose and M&S Bank, as well as lots of non-seasonal shoots for new and existing clients from all of our team:

David Boni has been shooting some fantastic OOH campaigns for Tennants and Scotland’s Railway. John Garon recently spent two days in the cycle friendly lanes of Essex with SomethingMore Agency, shooting a lifestyle library and jumping out of the way of fast-moving bikes.

Whatever the time of year, working across production and multi-format projects is what we’re great at, and whatever your campaign needs – we’d be delighted to help out. Always using green suppliers and eco friendly methods whenever possible, from local to global – we’re here!"

London-based photographer Andy Grimshaw specialises in food, drink and still life photography.

He works out of his own central London studio with fully equipped kitchen. Andy works with an experienced team of freelance home economists, assistants, prop stylists and retouchers. This enables him to put together a specialist team for any and all your photo shoot needs.

With Covid cases still high in the UK, Andy understands that clients still may be nervous but having his own studio with a large internal space means that Andy can still practise social distancing whilst having clients at a shoot with two bathrooms for regular hand washing and hand sanitiser available at all times. Lateral flow tests can be undertaken to provide that extra reassurance for our clients. This gives you the peace of mind that you are able to attend a shoot but remain safe.

Over the past quarter, Andy has been busy with amazing editorial shoots for Waitrose Drinks and Delicious and the Aperol Christmas campaign. Other work includes a Walkers crisps rebrand for Europe, 40 year old The Glenrothes ads.

If you have any projects you’d like to discuss with Andy, please call him on +44 207 267 7600.

After honing his craft as a travel shooter and a stint as a fashion photographer for clients like Net-a-Porter, Marc Haydon made the transition to food and still life photography and never looked back. 

With his precise and well-balanced composition, he now works from his studio in West London, producing photography for food businesses, supermarkets, restaurants, magazines and more. 

Working collaboratively with talented stylists, his aim in food photography is to maximum appetite appeal through lighting, composition, propping and styling.

"I used to be a musician in Brighton, England, but after having to leave my music career due to a chronic illness that brought my life to a standstill, I picked up a camera. Jumping quite a few years forward, I found myself doing a short season in Cape Town fumbling around with my camera and I became hooked.

My love for music and its natural tie in with fashion definitely dictated the path I’m on now. There’s no buzz like photographing a musician you listen to on repeat or idolised as a kid."

Dean Northcott had a quiet then very busy and successful 2021 with both his personal and commissioned work. His vibrant new style in his stills work has transferred over into his work in moving image, a new great passion for him. 

Born in New Zealand, Dean was raised on a diet of sport, barbeques and beach. After several years of world travel in his early 20s during which time he developed his sense of aesthetics, he arrived camera-in-hand in London and went on to study photography at LCP.

A former semi-pro rugby player, a third Dan black-belt in karate and marathon runner, sport is at the epicentre of Dean's entire life, he lives his work.

"Goodness! It's time to take a (short) breath after a busy and exciting few months for Howlett Photography. In the summer we opened the doors to our stunning new South London studio and since then welcomed in new clients including Diageo and well established ones alike.

We've been full steam ahead creating magical imagery for our Kiki McDonough and Zacapa Rum Christmas campaigns. But with plenty still in the pipeline and some amazing locations still left to shoot in 2021, we're finishing the year on a high.

We'd love to see you soon either in our South London studio or any one of the amazing locations we have at disposal with in London and the UK. We look forward to shooting with you! Enjoy the festive season."

"Things seem to be very busy in the UK at the moment. Content is in demand and this year has seen us produce stills, location manage short films and high profile documentaries alongside the usual stills and commercial campaigns. The UK is well set with everything you need for production, although with Covid travel remains a challenge.

Whatever your production or location needs, we’re here to facilitate. Come and join us on set! Production and locations.

Recently trusted by: NHS (again), Ford (numerous projects) On Running, Smart Energy, Zen Auto, Facebook, Rexona, Vinted (again!), William Hill, Purina, Moncler, Zara, amongst others."

Andie Redman is a London-based props and wardrobe stylist. With over 20 years' experience, she has styled everything, from national billboard campaigns, TV series, TVCs and editorials. Diverse and flexible, she also offers food styling, set building and hair and makeup. 

"I have been really busy recently. Just in the past couple of months, I have been working on the new Transport for London campaign, British Heart Foundation billboards, Blue Planet, Just Dance Tik Tok, Bloomsbury and headline book cover shoots, Haymans Gin, Ramsbury Gin…(good job, I love gin).

The Guardian's relaunch of their Saturday Magazine has filled the gaps in-between. This has become a very regular feature called Flashback, and it's such great fun. The concept is simple, the actual set builds and wardrobe are often incredibly complicated and technical. A celebrity gives us a childhood photograph of themselves, including perhaps a family member and we recreate the photo, with the celebrity as they are now, without retouching. The before and after shots are then pictured together. Often the photos are from the 70's and 80's.

Photographer Pal Hansen and I have had multiple utterly ridiculous conversations about getting it to work, and have been working with a wonderful array of celebrities. It's been going down a treat. I feel this is a long term project, but it's brilliant to have it in between my advertising work."

Udo Reichelt-Schaurer has built a reputation as someone who brings considerable artistic culinary skill and professionalism to his work. A trained chef, he relishes a challenge, can think outside the box and can step up to deliver on a tight brief. All this he manages with great humour and quiet resolve – he is a great collaborator.

Udo has worked on many editorial and packaging still and video shoots around the world. Locations include the US, South America, Asia, the Middle East as well as Europe. He speaks and writes fluent English and German, and some Russian.

“For me, working with food is like a friendship, you have to really listen, think about your position and approach before you can create a unique style and deliver a great result.”
