The Commission

A new restaurant.
Three very different shoots.

What began with a chance conversation developed into a series of commissions for The Dilli, a new independent Indian restaurant preparing to open in the centre of Haslemere.

Across three visits, Sequoia Studios photographed the restaurant's distinctive interiors and exterior, documented its opening celebration and returned to create a collection of food photography for its dessert menu.

Together, the shoots created a varied image library showing not only the space and food, but the people and personality behind the restaurant.

The Food

From restaurant architecture
to dessert plates.

With the restaurant established, the photography moved from the space and the people around it to the food itself.

The Dilli invited me back to photograph a selection of desserts, creating images that carried the same richness, colour and attention to detail as the restaurant interiors. Each dish was photographed individually, allowing the presentation, textures and finishing touches to take centre stage.
