Karen Thomas is a passionate London-based food and still life photographer. Her interest in food precedes her 16 year career as a photographer and also keeps her busy in her own kitchen when she’s not shooting.

From editorial to advertising, Karen has worked with some of the biggest names in food including M&S, Waitrose, McDonald's and Nestlé. A photograph is nothing if the light isn’t right and Karen loves to work with both daylight and studio lighting in order to create atmospheric and beautiful work.

The images Karen is showcasing are from this year's beautiful M&S Christmas press pack. Karen recently shot the new Sushi Daily posters for Waitrose as well as new cheese brochures. Now it’s back to Christmas, but with Waitrose this time, after which Karen starts an exciting new book project.
