My name is Joan and I am a photographer, writer and food stylist. My first career was as a lecturer in Human Nutrition and I worked for many years at the University of Leeds both in teaching and research. I have a MMedSci and PhD in human nutrition and have a keen interest in the links between food and health. More recently I have become passionate about taking compelling, natural images of food, people and landscapes. This has created wonderful opportunities for me to take photographs and create content for restaurants, hotels, food producers, books and magazines. I am an accomplished cook and food stylist with experience of developing, testing and writing recipes. I am based in the beautiful town of Ilkley, West Yorkshire and work on location around the UK. If you would like to commission me to work on a project, drop me a line and I can send you through my rates and further details.
