Projects
- Castle Chocolates | 2020In September 2019 I was approached by a new artisan chocolatier opening in Carlisle, U.K. After shooting an initial range of products for their website Blackfell was commissioned to produce imagery for Castle Chocolates' social media and printed promotional materials.
