Photographing for M&S and Sainsbury's - Kris Kirkham, London based food photographer

For the first show of 2025, Steve and Nick are back with another guest from the world of food photography. 
 Kris Kirkham is a London based food photographer, who has worked with many of the leading brands including Sainsbury, Waitrose, M&S, Subway and Nandos. Having trained and worked as a chef for over 15 years, Kris then combined his love of photography with his passion for food, and developed a distinctive style of food and drink photography that is colourful, beautifully lit and contrasty. With over 10 years of experience and an extensive portfolio, his work is ubiquitous and you probably have seen it in magazines, advertisements and brochures.  Kris tells Steve and Nick:

• How his training as a chef helps him understand the best way to photography food
• His approach to an shoot, using medium format cameras in his home studio
• His recommendations for aspiring food photographers
• His most unusual photography project

Also in the show; Nick is having a clear out of his studio (anyone want an 80's era Instamatic?), whilst Steve is having fun on the streets of London. The guys also discuss why a leading professional album manufacturer is now selling pro level albums direct to the public. Nick also demystifies the complex topic of using music on a video production
