Commercial Food & Drink Photographer in London

Scott Choucino is a commercial food & drink photographer in London represented by Agent At Large, working with advertising agencies and brands to create still and moving imagery for campaigns, packaging, and digital content. Scott’s work has appeared in worldwide campaigns for household names including Dolmio, Papa Johns, PepsiCo, Doritos, Ben’s Original, and GoPuff, alongside ongoing collaborations with start-ups building new brand identities on tighter budgets.

Before anything gets lit, Scott works out what the image actually has to do. A hero shot for a billboard has a different job from a packshot for a website or a short clip for social, and knowing that from the start saves time on the day and avoids reshoots later. It’s the reason agencies and brands keep coming back to him as their food and drink photographer in London.

Photo and video services

Scott specialises in food photography that captures texture, freshness, and appetite appeal for advertising and packaging. Food doesn’t last long under studio lights, so every shoot is planned around that. The styling, props, lighting and camera position are all sorted before the hero dish comes out, which means burgers still look like burgers, sauces still pour properly and ice cream holds its shape long enough to get the shot.

The same planning goes into drink and liquid photography built around pours, splashes, condensation, and macro detail. Liquids never do quite the same thing twice, so it’s a mix of controlled lighting, fast flash and patience, waiting for the exact moment a pour or a splash looks its best.

Alongside this, he shoots still life and product photography for FMCG and consumer brands, from clean packshots for e-commerce to creative hero images for campaigns, all shot to fit the layouts that designers and art directors are working to. His portrait and lifestyle photography for campaign and social content features real people eating, drinking and enjoying products, not people standing around holding them. For brands needing moving imagery across broadcast, e-commerce, and social platforms, Scott also shoots motion and video content, from slow-motion pours to short cut-downs for social.

Because Scott shoots stills and motion himself, a campaign can be photographed and filmed in the same session, using the same set, styling and lighting. The look stays consistent across every channel, and there’s no need to book and brief two separate crews. Files are delivered ready to use, cropped and sized for each channel the brief calls for.

What Scott Does:

Scott works directly with advertising agencies, brand marketing teams, and packaging designers across the food and drink industry, from major FMCG brands to independent restaurant, hospitality, and beverage businesses, delivering imagery for above-the-line campaigns, packaging design, e-commerce listings, and social content.

For agencies, that means a photographer who is comfortable working to layouts, taking art direction and running a busy set with stylists, props and clients all in the room. For brand teams, it means one point of contact from the first call through to final files. For packaging designers, it means images shot at the right angle and with the right lighting for the pack, so they work on shelf from day one.

Restaurants, hospitality groups and drinks producers have their own needs. A menu, a website and a delivery app all want different images, and a product launch needs a full set of food and drink photography that works on shelf, online and in the trade press. Scott shoots to those uses from the outset, so nothing has to be reshot because a crop didn’t work.

Start-ups and independent brands get the same attention. New brands usually need a lot of images from a small budget, so shoots are planned to get the most out of every set-up, covering website, packaging, social and marketplace listings in a single day wherever possible.

Photo and video Studios:

Working from fully equipped studios in London and Leicester, complete with Broncolor lighting, a full grip package, high-resolution view cameras, 6K raw slow-motion video cameras, an in-house editing suite, and an extensive prop and background store, Scott delivers everything from tabletop product shots to full-scale campaign productions, with his Golden Retriever Teddy usually supervising from somewhere nearby.

Having everything under one roof keeps food and drink shoots moving. Clients can review images as they’re shot and sign things off on the day, the prop and background store means surfaces and colours can be tested quickly, and the editing suite means footage can be cut and reviewed where it was filmed. Two studios also gives more flexibility on dates and locations.
