Flavours of the Neighbourhood

Hotel Indigo asked me to shoot the 6 finalists of their ‘Flavours of the Neighbourhood’ food competition to find the UK’s favourite artisan producer. Being commissioned to shoot artisan food photography is always a joy, combining great produce with people who are passionate about what they do.

Along with an esteemed panel of food experts including TV’s Jimmy Doherty, award-winning food writer William Sitwell, and supper club pioneer Kerstin Rodgers, we travelled the length and breadth of the British Isles sampling some of the very best artisan produce as voted for by the public.
