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.

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.
