Our fantastic foodie photographer, GG Photo, was commissioned to revamp a well-known rail companies’ menu with fresh imagery to tempt their hungry passengers.

From initial brainstorming with the ad agency to overcoming unforeseen hurdles – like Rain City Redesigns swooping in to save the day when our train table hit complications – it was an incredible team effort. Our onset team of photographers (GG Photo, Sean McCrossan) models (PHA Models) and stylists (NickWalsh.co.uk) alongside our behind-the-scenes production staff (Toast Represents, Dab Hands Virtual Office Solutions) curated a smooth production, which made our client extremely happy…

“Just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday and all your efforts to date. All the pre prod was really smooth and the shoot went really well. [The client] was very happy with how it all came together. Please pass our thanks to all the team as well.”

Great job guys, watch this space for final imagery.

Juice of ½ a lemon
3 tbsp vegetarian hard cheese, finely grated

Method:
