Lick Your Plate by powerhouse sisters Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat comes out this week. I don’t shoot as many cookbooks as I used to, but i’m really glad I got to shoot this one.

Stylistically, we took things in a completely new direction. Hard punchy light with crisp defined shadows and lots of negative space for the food.

This was so much fun to shoot!

We shot this book over 10 days in my studio. The lovely Nicole Young was our food stylist and Catherine Doherty did the prop styling.

The book is in stores now and the publisher is Appetite by Random House.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the book.
