Made in Gloucestershire

Client: Mighty for GFirst LEP/Made in Gloucestershire

The purpose of this commission was to shoot images to provide content for a new website by GFirst LEP entitled Made in Gloucestershire, an initiative that is a celebration of the great food and drink produced by businesses across the county.

Food and drink producers join the scheme for free and receive numerous benefits, including a listing on the website and the ability to use the Made in Gloucestershire logo on their packaging.

To launch the new website, four case study businesses were selected for me to photograph to become part of a series known as the ‘Makers’ Spotlight’. These businesses included Tubby Tom’s, Non Solo Pasta, Stroud Brewery and Wholly Gelato.

The photographs from each of these shoots have been used throughout the website to showcase real Gloucestershire businesses instead of generic stock imagery.

For each business, the aim of the images was to get to the heart of what they do and the passion behind the food that they create. Images included the people behind the business, staff making the food, close-up shots of them in action and the food and drink itself.

Overall, the client was looking for a ‘behind the scenes’ feel – giving people a glimpse into the passion and pride that goes into making this fantastic food and drink in Gloucestershire.
