Hey there, foodies and photography enthusiasts! I've got a treat for you – a sneak peek into a recent photoshoot that had my camera clicking in delight.

Culinary Artistry: A Glimpse into 12:51


If you're a fan of the Great British Menu, you're likely familiar with James Cochran's name. He's the culinary genius behind 12:51, which saw its inception in 2018, the same year he clinched the coveted Great British Menu title. Fast forward to 2020, and he did it again! The restaurant is truly a testament to his culinary prowess.


Capturing the Magic: Chefs at Work


So, what's the scoop? I had the immense pleasure of capturing the magic behind the scenes – the chefs in their element, crafting culinary marvels that leave taste buds dancing. John and Chris worked their culinary wizardry in the kitchen, while Dan charmed guests as the front of house maestro. Oh, and let's not forget Lucy, the adorable canine companion who brings an extra dose of warmth to the setting.


Beyond the Plates: Crafting Visual Stories


Being a photographer isn't just about taking pictures; it's about weaving visual stories that resonate. Just like a couple's tender moments or a professional's headshot, each image captures an emotion, a connection. My lens was there to encapsulate the synergy of the 12:51 team, the vibrant atmosphere, and the culinary creations that are truly works of art.


From the sizzle of the kitchen to the laughter in the dining area, every moment was a chance to freeze time. So, if you're seeking a photographer who understands the heartbeat of an experience, let's connect. Your story, your memories – I'm here to transform them into tangible treasures.
