Michael Kay is one of the UK's most experienced food photographers, now based in a studio in Wimbledon. I like how this photographer sort of isolates the fruit in the photo and uses a range of different fruits which slightly link with each other due to the similar tones.

Paul Underhill is a commercial photographer from Bournemouth Dorset. He specialises in events photography however does also do some commercial photography. He has had an interest in photography since he was a young child.

David White specialises in documentary style food photography showing food in all stages from being raw,in production and then the plated dish.

Phillip Webs main clients include Marks and Spencer's, Ocado, Waitrose and John Lewis. His studio is based in London and he considers no greater luxury than crewing a narrative from light, composition, tone and texture. Once again this photographer not only shows the finished food item but some of the processes it goes through to get there so I would like to take influence from this.

Mark Sykes creates photographs for both commercial and advertising clients  in and around the Leeds area. He uses eye-catching photography in order to advertise products. I feel like this photographers work is a little obvious and unoriginal so won't really take influence from it.

19. Jonathan Pollock

This photographer uses close up detailed lenses and dark background in order to reach the desired affect. I will definitely take influence from this photographers work due to the use of the black background making the food really stand out bight and obvious and generally making interesting and eye-catching photographs.
