Karen’s love of food is clear to see in her still and motion work. She has spent the last 20 years passionately capturing food at its best and in the last few years she has also enjoyed directing impressive motion work too.
This Spotlight feature begins with some exciting new tests that were shot in collaboration with food stylist Katie Giovanni and prop stylist Alexander Breeze. They luckily managed to squeeze a day in the studio together just before lockdown and had a fantastic time shooting lots of different seafood dishes.
Following on from these images are shots for M&S (Meal in a Bag, Gastro packaging), Birds Eye (Green Cuisine, plant-based Swedish style meatballs) and lastly an advert for Carnation for Tesco that Karen had fun shooting on location in Kentish Town.
Now during the lockdown, Karen is keeping herself busy working on personal projects whilst also working on logistics for some upcoming shoots with skeletal teams that will take place once the restrictions have relaxed.
