My approach to food photography is to concentrate on real food shot on location in available light. Where the food is fresh and tasty in a street market or artfully arranged in a fine restaurant, there is no need for technical tricks or complicated lighting set-ups. My style was best utilised in the book Real Italian Food, published by ConranOctopus, for which I supplied all the location photographs, including step-by-step photographs of recipes, pictures of the landscape and produce of Italy, and portraits of inspiring chefs and their finished dishes.
