Australian-born Patricia Niven is an award winning food and portrait photographer. Her work is known for its rich, textural style and timeless luminosity.

Her sumptuous food photographs range from painterly still lifes through to clean, modern classics - all are imbued with a tranquillity, warmth and free-spirited curiosity that defines Patricia’s style. She is as at home photographing in a field with mud on her boots as she is in a studio or a Michelin starred restaurant. Her natural warmth and love of people means she thrives when collaborating with a team, relishing the magic of the combined energy in a room, whether it be for commercial, editorial or freelance commissions.

Recent work includes KFC with Mother London and cookbook ‘Chasing Smoke: Cooking Over Fire Around the Levant’ by chef couple Sarit Packer & Itamar Srulovich, as well as their bi-monthly column in the FT Weekend Magazine.

She is represented worldwide by Laird and Good Company.

Patricia Niven brings warmth and authenticity to her food photography. She creates painterly and textural images, which are contemporary, fresh and mouth-wateringly delicious.

A native Australian, Patricia is now based in London where she photographs both in her studio as well as on location. She enjoys capturing people as they take pleasure in growing, cooking and eating quality foods.

Patricia takes a creative approach to any commission, as well as bringing technical proficiency. Her natural energy and spark ensure a fun and successful shoot, every time.
