Photography
Investing in high-quality professional photography is a big factor in growing your brand and making shoppers far more likely to purchase your products.
03
Styling & Props
Lara originally trained as a fashion designer and in her spare time worked in set design at the theatre. After a very successful career as a fashion buyer, she went back to university and trained as a commercial photographer.
Lara goes above and beyond the role of photographer and I am always so excited to receive her emails to see the final shots!
When starting a new project, she takes time and care to understand the brand and ethos behind it, she researched the industry to create fresh energetic images with a new perspective on products.
Lara is a top choice for many Dorset Food and Drink members, who commission and use Lara’s images on their websites and social media channels, adding value to their branding and communications.
She has the ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and also be invisible when you're trying to get those more candid shots too. Highly recommended!
Her work is creative and professional and on many occasions Lara went above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done right.
