Editorial recipe food styling

Justine has many years of experience styling food for leading magazines, newspapers, books and editorial publications. She particularly enjoys the creative process of bringing recipes to life — taking the words and ingredients on a page and turning them into food that looks genuinely delicious and makes the reader want to cook it.

Whether it’s in print or online, a magazine recipe, newspaper feature, cookbook, seasonal food story or a larger editorial project, Justine brings an instinctive understanding of food, photography and presentation to every shoot. She understands the balance between making food look beautiful and keeping it authentic and achievable, ensuring that the finished image reflects the recipe while giving it real visual appeal.

Packaging and advertising

Justine has extensive experience styling food for packaging and retail photography, working with all of the major UK supermarkets, including Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and ASDA.
She has also worked with leading food brands including Billington’s, Tate & Lyle and Begum’s, as well as on commercial projects for clients including Waitrose, Wild Bean Cafe and Marks & Spencer.

Experience counts when budgets are tight.

Packaging photography requires a very particular combination of precision, consistency, speed and an understanding of how food needs to perform on camera. Justine is highly experienced in working to detailed packaging briefs, ensuring that products are styled accurately and consistently while still looking appetising and appealing.

Justine understands the importance of matching the finished food to the product, packaging design and brand guidelines, and is comfortable working with detailed specifications and exacting requirements. She is used to preparing, styling and managing large quantities of food and products within tight production schedules, and understands how important it is to keep a shoot moving efficiently.

Her practical experience also means she can anticipate the challenges that can arise during a packaging shoot and find solutions quickly, whether that involves adjusting a recipe, preparing additional product, sourcing ingredients or adapting the food to achieve the required result. When budgets are tight, there is no wriggle-room for reshoots and that’s where experience really counts.
