Karen Thomas is a London-based food and still life photographer. One of the things she loves about her job is the diversity: whether she's shooting editorial, packaging or advertising, she loves the challenges that different areas of work offer.

Karen has recently finished shooting the new Whittard tea packaging, continued shooting various packaging ranges for Birds Eye, produced beautiful Valentine's Day store window posters for Marks and Spencer (which was quickly followed by their Mother's Day campaign), and is currently working on a beautiful National Trust baking book with Sybil Kapoor.

Featured in this Showcase is just a small selection of work from some of the recent HSBC advertising projects that Karen has recently enjoyed shooting.
