My role involved shooting images for use in the BBC Good Food Magazine and on the website, as well as on social media platforms, both in the studio and on location. I worked with a range of chefs, restaurants, food stylists, prop stylists and art directors. I was also regularly required to food style recipes that I was shooting, as well as sourcing and stying props on shoots. I filmed short videos for use on the online BBC Good Food platforms and edited and captioned clips in Adobe Premiere Pro.
