High quality food and product photography with quick turnaround times for entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses in and around the Bicester, Oxfordshire area.
I offer food and product photography (including jewellery photography) at my professional photography studio in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
My services are ideal for entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses who are looking for images to use on their social media platforms, websites, printed catalogues/marketing literature and online listings.
I offer both styled photography (e.g. flat lays or in situ shots) and clean, simple shots on a one-colour background (white, grey, brown or black).
All commissions include high resolution digital files delivered via an online gallery and a full commercial usage licence. This means you can use the images how and where you’d like, for as long as you’d like. Edited images can be delivered in as little as one working day.
“Sarah has just created fresh images for our website and social media. They are absolutely beautiful and will totally transform the look of our company. It was such a pleasure to work with her. She is very professional and made it all so easy for me, even though I was unable to work with her in the studio due to lockdown. We used Whats app to check each shot and it worked like a dream. The results are stunning.”
Kym, product photography client from Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, and owner of crumblecottage.com
Styled food and product photography
Show your food or product in everyday use or in a visually rich context. These shots look great next to editorial, in advertisements and as supplementary images for catalogue and online listings. They help your customers visualise the feelings and benefits they will experience when enjoying your product, by adding mood, emotion and visual interest.
“Sarah recently came to take photos of some items off our new Durban Spice secret supper menu and she did an amazing job. Sarah was so helpful from the start and showed so much interest in our new business and project. She was engaged, patient and an absolute professional. The pictures look amazing and everyone who has seen them has said the same. We’d highly recommend her! Thanks again.”

Clean, simple studio photography
If you’re commissioning food or product photography for catalogue/online listings or to be used as part of a seamless design, then clean, simple studio photography is ideal.
I’ll capture your product using beautiful lighting and with no distractions. Afterwards, you’ll receive ready-to-use files with the background around your product flowing into pure white, pure black or a mid-tone – whatever you require.
“Sarah held a great photoshoot with me for my business – she put me at ease and helped me get fantastic and professional photos of myself and my work. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Sarah took some wonderful photos to help promote my new album. She made me feel at ease and directed the shoot masterfully. There are many photographers out there; what makes Sarah different is that she clearly has a natural talent for what she does, and throws herself headfirst into whatever she’s working on. Would not hesitate to recommend.”
