Food and Prop Stylists
Food Stylists:
I came across Dagmar Vesely when looking on the Salt and spoon website. I liked a lot of the images that were on there so I took a look at her actual website. I saw that she had worked with a lot of similar foods to cheesecake, such as ice cream, yogurts and creamy drinks. So I have emailed her to enquire about her day rates, as well as what she would charge for a test shoot. As part of my research for my estimates.
Her clients include: Lurpak, M&S, Morrisons, KFC, Burger King, Coca-Cola, Philadelphia, Heinz, Nestle, Muller, Waitrose, Activia, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Tesco, Knorr, Hellmann’s, Colmans, Starbucks, Tassimo, Shredded Wheat, Cauldron, Bird’s Eye, Cathedral City, Kingsmill, Cadbury, Mr Kipling, Benecol & Usborne.
Katie Giovanni is a food stylist based in London. She works on both stills and moving image and has worked with big brands such as: Lurpak, M&S, Dolmio, Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Maille. I really liked some of her styling of various fruit but i also saw that, like Dagmar Vesely, she has worked with foods like cheesecake and ice cream before which is good to know as I will be shooting cheesecake.
Amy Kinnear is another food stylist based in London, where she recently relocated to in 2017. After spending four years in Dubai as a food editor.
Healthy Sutra - Nisha
Nisha is a food photographer who also offers food styling services. I like the minimalistic look of her styling, and how the props are quite minimal making the dish/drink stand out.
Prop Stylists:
Rebecca Newport is a props stylist for food and still life photography. She has over ten years experience and has styled for advertising, magazines, newspapers and books. One other service she offers is prop sourcing, which would be really helpful for me as I do sometimes find it hard to picture what kind of props would be right for a shoot. I have emailed to enquire about her day rate for both styling and sourcing.
Jessica Georgiades is an interior, food prop and wardrobe stylist based in London. She has worked with both stills and commericials, as well as high profile advertising campaigns and editorial projects. I really liked the simplicity of her prop styling, and the use of the different textures of the props.
Her Clients include: Uber Eats, Lyles, Caffe Nero, Lurpak, Adidas, Westfield, EAT, Cadbury, Eukanuba,Virgin Active, Courvoisier, Macallan, Whisky, Martini, Grants, Strongbow, Hub by Premier Inn, Intercontinental Hotels, Radisson Blu, Knorr, Forman & Field, Skyr, Tesco, Lidl, M&S, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Walkers crisps, Charlie Binghams, Wiltshire Farm Foods, Union coffee , Mcdonalds, Soupline, Persil, Octopus Books, Ebury Press, Unicorn Publishing.
Tamsin Weston is a prop stylist who specialises in styling props for food and drink. Some of clients include Lurpak, Baileys, Waitrose, Haig Club, The Sunday Times and Tesco's.
I really love some of the rustic props she uses that look really worn down and well used. I think they really tie the images together and help tell a story and set a scene.
