Howard Shooter is an award winning food photographer with nearly 30 years expertise (time flies when you’re having fun!). He has been a finalist in the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year ten times including 2023.
Howard developed a passion for photography from a very early age and is a very keen cook (something his wife and kids are delighted about!).
He specialises in all things food related whether they be studio, location, people, portraits or film, flash or daylight. He has created purpose built food studios in Camden, London where he works with a team of the best food and prop stylists. His attention to detail and passion has helped him create an international reputation and has built him a global client base that includes Walkers Crisps, Pepsi co, Marks and Spencer, KFC, Lipton, Premier Foods, Mars, Hellman’s, Dell’ Ugo Pasta, The Hilton Group, Weetabix and Wagamama to name a few. He also has two food photography and film hire studios, which are considered to be some of the best equipped in London. www.foodstudiohire.com.
Howard also has a licensing program called “The Recipe Thief ” based on a series of children’s books he has written.
Finally Howard is also an executive coach and mentor…. phew!
And…by the way… Shooter is his real name.
I have known Howard for about 20 years and been fortunate enough to see his amazing talent up close! He is a true giant in the food photography sector and a big name in the food industry! I’ve been lucky enough to work with him for all this time.

I commission him not only for the excellent quality of his images, but also for his calm, can-do attitude, his vast knowledge of recipes and food preparations, and his fastidious attention to detail.
