"I used to be a musician in Brighton, England, but after having to leave my music career due to a chronic illness that brought my life to a standstill, I picked up a camera. Jumping quite a few years forward, I found myself doing a short season in Cape Town fumbling around with my camera and I became hooked.

My love for music and its natural tie in with fashion definitely dictated the path I’m on now. There’s no buzz like photographing a musician you listen to on repeat or idolised as a kid."

Scott Grummett is a food photographer and director based in the UK.

Scott has also been in London shooting people and food for a host of different brands, convincing them to dive into street food to give a real sense of fun and hunger combined.

Stills, GIFS, Social, Full scale dramatic TVCs or the whole campaign. If you want hunger - you're covered.

"Goodness! It's time to take a (short) breath after a busy and exciting few months for Howlett Photography. In the summer we opened the doors to our stunning new South London studio and since then welcomed in new clients including Diageo and well established ones alike.

We've been full steam ahead creating magical imagery for our Kiki McDonough and Zacapa Rum Christmas campaigns. But with plenty still in the pipeline and some amazing locations still left to shoot in 2021, we're finishing the year on a high.

We'd love to see you soon either in our South London studio or any one of the amazing locations we have at disposal with in London and the UK. We look forward to shooting with you! Enjoy the festive season."
