We’ve been cooking italian cuisine for three weeks and we’re still not through with even a third of the garlic I had to buy for this shoot. You’ve gotta suffer for your art and believe me my friends are…constant garlic breath, not good!
Duck Eggs shot in natural light. I was lucky none of them broke as I was manipulating them into place. Although I think an eggy mess might make an interesting shot…maybe next week.
Since cupcakes have come on the scene no one seems to remember the humble but oh so delicious fairy cake. I wanted to keep these simple and classic with not even a sugar sprinkle in sight! So next time your tucking into a mountain of buttercream spare a thought for the cupcakes forgotten relation.
I wanted to create a feminine and pretty take on this classic cake. My food stylist couldn’t make the shoot at the last minute so I found myself baking again after a 20 year break! I wanted it to look homemade and tantalising enough to tuck into right away. I hope you like it.
After being on location for most of last week it was a nice change to be back in the studio. Here are a couple of product shots commissioned by Weetons of their delicious chutneys and salad dressings. My website has some more as well as a couple of shots from the location part of the shoot. www.debbylewisharrison.com.
I had the best Friday ever. I have a fondness of cows and found myself in an impromptu shoot at Beckwith Farm. Michelle let me loose in the field with her pedigree Hereford herd including a huge bull called Diamond. I was amazed that Michelle could name them all and they were a very friendly bunch. Here’s one of the shots. Many thanks to Michelle @ http://www.beckwithfarm.com.
I don’t normally shoot things that talk and move but last week I had a great time photographing the very lovely people at Weetons, a fabulous deli, shop & cafe in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. While Anna and I were treated to cakes, biscuits & endless coffee we did also get some great shots of the shop and staff. Many thanks to Anna Cowen for assisting and styling and to everyone at Weetons for making us feel so welcome, it made the job lots of fun.
This pretty little box contained the most delicious smelling soap, I was very upset to give it back!
I’m in love with these shoes. The beautiful navy fabric has such a lustrous sheen and the bug brooches simply sparkle in the light. I’ve just updated my website with a few other shoe shots so please take a look.

This shot of delicious noodles was inspired by a casual dinner at wagamama. I wanted mine to be more fine dining than utilitarian chic. The linen napkin and delicate duck egg bowl adds finesse.
