Food, School & Brand Photographer in Sussex
Natural, thoughtful visuals for food businesses, schools and independent brands across Sussex, Surrey, London and the South East
From a beautifully prepared dish to a student telling their story, I create photography and film that captures the detail, atmosphere and people behind what you do. My approach is simple, natural and story-led, with an eye for light, detail and the moments in between.
From product and menu photography to short-form films, I create clean, natural visuals for bakeries, cafés, restaurants, food producers and independent brands.
Food Photography & Film
From preparation and product photography to short films and social content, this ongoing project explores how a small bakery can build a visual identity through simple, honest imagery.

A marketer behind the camera
Before building DanStudio, I spent years working in marketing and communications, including within education. Today I bring that same understanding of audience, message and storytelling into photography and film.
I don't just want to make something look good. I want to understand what the image or film needs to communicate—and then find the light, composition and moments to make it work.
Based in Horsham, I work with food businesses, schools, independent brands and organisations across Sussex and the South East.
Whether you need a few strong images, a series of social films or a bigger visual story, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
