Chef Ben Spalding, Stripped Back

4th September 2013. Lucky Beach, Brighton.

Chef Ben Spalding brings his innovative 'Stripped Back' concept to Brighton and the fabulous Lucky Beach, Brighton. I was on hand to photograph the amazing food, as well as eat it! Food photography is so rewarding, trying to capture the food of ben Spalding and trying to convey the vibrancy of Stripped Back. How exciting, challenging and fun it is. 

I photographed the preparation of the food. 




As a pop up restaurant event in Brighton, Chef Ben Spalding 'strips back' to basics the facilities to prepare food.
