Hi, I’m Hikaru. I work as a London food photographer. I’m passionate about connecting brands and restaurants to their audience.

My food photography is shot with a focus on real food, and producing vibrant scenes, to tell relevant and authentic brand stories.

Originally from the East Sussex market town of Lewes, I grew up above my family’s restaurant. From an early age - I’d stand on a stool in the kitchen and help my Dad prep dishes, and go on drives across the county - learning about local ingredients and discovering my spark for food; later developing into hosting my own popular supper clubs.

Now working as a London food photographer - I’m endlessly passionate about producing vibrant and contemporary scenes that connect your brand and product to your audience in your unique voice.

My creative approach offers a seamless service from briefing, through production and delivery of your food photography; this is done by making use of my experience, refined workflows and team of stylists to create meaningful imagery.

My passion for amazing food drives me to produce authentic and vibrant food photography that connects brands with their audience in their voice.

This is achieved through my streamlined approach to brief treatments; all starting with getting to know your brand, your audience and the type of aspirational food photography that resonates with them. This is used to fuel our creative decision-making and art direction.

At the heart of this is real food, and bespoke set builds that use an intentional balance of tones, textures, props and bespoke set builds to tell each brand’s unique story.
