Most of my regular readers are aware that by day I’m the group marketing manager of a small group of pubs and restaurants in the East Midlands. It’s not that often that my work crosses over into my blog but today I want to share some of the amazing food photography we’ve recently been working on in preparation for the launch of spring menus.
I’m lucky that I have a job in an industry I love – and I probably have my blog to thank for that to a certain extent. Whilst I’ve always worked in marketing when I applied for my current role I was moving out of the travel industry. Most likely, my knowledge of food and eating out in my local area helped get it. A happy story of a hobby turned career (of a sort!). Scott Choucino is someone I met through my job who I now consider a friend. His story resonates because it’s similar to mine – his career wasn’t actually in photography but he changed that because it’s where his passion lies.
Scott Choucino is a Leicester based commercial photographer and predominantly shoots bands and musicians but more recently he’s turned his hand to food photography. Three of the most recent shoots he did for us were at The Smokehouse in Leicester and the Orange trees in Leicester and Nottingham. I’m sure you’ll agree that the dishes look absolutely fantastic. He captures the freshness of the dishes so well although I’m sure he quite enjoys helping me eat them up afterwards too! Oh, it’s a tough life!
His pictures are absolutely stunning!!! x
Really gorgeous photos. What a menu!!
Thanks both for your comments – Scott's photos are literally good enough to eat aren't they! 🙂
These photos are gorgeous! Being a blogger seems to really help in getting marketing jobs, its helped me no end, even though I'm not marketing food (although that would be a dream!). The only downside to this post is its made me both very hungry and very sad I still haven't managed to get to an orange tree or the smokehouse yet! x
