Andy Grimshaw
Food, Drink and Still Life Photographers
London-based photographer Andy Grimshaw specialises in food, drink and still life photography.
He works out of his own central London studio with fully equipped kitchen. Andy works with an experienced team of freelance home economists, assistants, prop stylists and retouchers. This enables him to put together a specialist team for any and all your photo shoot needs.
With Covid cases still high in the UK, Andy understands that clients still may be nervous but having his own studio with a large internal space means that Andy can still practise social distancing whilst having clients at a shoot with two bathrooms for regular hand washing and hand sanitiser available at all times. Lateral flow tests can be undertaken to provide that extra reassurance for our clients. This gives you the peace of mind that you are able to attend a shoot but remain safe.
Over the past quarter, Andy has been busy with amazing editorial shoots for Waitrose Drinks and Delicious and the Aperol Christmas campaign. Other work includes a Walkers crisps rebrand for Europe, 40 year old The Glenrothes ads.
If you have any projects you’d like to discuss with Andy, please call him on +44 207 267 7600.
