Robin Goodlad – Food Photographer
A photographer of food with the vision to take your business to the next level
As a driven and accomplished Dorset based food photographer, I know just how important visual representation is, simply because your food is the finest, so you need powerful images that will stir the senses. Crafting perfect images that translate the aroma, the flavours, and the textures into incredible photographs is no less than your food deserves.
I work closely with my clients to understand any brief and create a visualisation of concept, then use beautiful lighting, styling and composition to convey the highest quality to your clients. Exceptional images are an essential investment and will really take your business to the next level for years to come.
Whether you are a restaurant owner, chef, author or food producer, I know that the best quality images are absolutely essential in bringing your food or lifestyle business to life. As a food photographer I will give your brand confidence and a clear visual identity, with credibility and a distinctive style that will truly stand out.
I can either shoot in my own studio to a brief, or work alongside you on location, whatever suits your needs.
A photographer with a true passion for food
I love working as a photographer and I love food in equal measure, which is the perfect combination. My experience on BBC Masterchef taught me that I love the visual representation of a plate of food, with the additional benefit of having a deep understanding of cooking skills combined with a knowledge of the art in making food look as good as it should taste, and the alchemy of invoking hunger in a beautifully crafted image. Personally, I am a great believer in provenance and grow, catch and rear my own food wherever I can, consequently from seed to plate, I am always creating and testing recipes and concepts in both food and photography.
An exceptional food Photographer
Who will bring your vision to life
Award winning food photographer
It is an honour to have been one of the winners in the world’s largest food photographer competition, the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year, in 2016, as well as subsequently a finalist each year since, and 3rd place in the Marks and Spencer Food Portraiture Award in 2020. I am also privileged to work alongside some amazing and well known chefs in their kitchens, specifically showcasing their food at it’s very best, having worked with clients such as Rick Stein, Farmacy, Dorset Meat Company and Pipers Crisps to name a few, with images additionally appearing in Sainsburys, and the BBC amongst others. Whether in Dorset, the South West, or London, I love immersing myself in the energy of a busy kitchen, accordingly there is so much more to capture than the food itself, the people, the venue, the atmosphere, which is where my skills as a documentary photographer demonstrate the versatility to truly showcase your whole brand.
“Robin’s incredibly high quality photographs have been an absolutely essential and sound long term investment.”
