Every hospitality venue and artisan producer creates something they’re incredibly proud of.

When you’ve poured your heart and soul into a dish or product, you want everyone to see and understand that.

You know what you’ve created deserves to be chosen.

And yet people scroll on by.

We create food and drink photography for restaurants, hospitality venues and artisan producers across Derby, the Midlands, London and throughout the UK.

Our job is to help other people see what you already know. To carry your pride to the people who matter, showing the quality you’ve created and the care behind it.

Great images grab attention and make people crave what you’ve produced.

These are the photographs that show people why you’re the right choice.

Let’s Make People Hungry.

What You Get

Every image we create has one job: to make people stop, build appetite and choose your business.

Whether we work in your venue or our Derby studio, everything we do focuses on creating photography that earns its place across your marketing.

Planning Your Shoot

Every project starts with a conversation about your food, your business and how you'll use the photography.

We'll agree the style, atmosphere and message your images need to communicate, then plan for the places they'll need to work, from websites and menus to social media, advertising and print.

That means thinking about composition, orientation, crops and space for text before we pick up a camera.

Your Shoot

Professional styling and carefully controlled lighting are part of every shoot.

Because there are always two of us, one can refine the styling and details while the other concentrates on lighting and composition. It also means we can create more variety in the time available, giving you a broader library of useful images from your shoot.

Editing & Delivery

We individually finish every image and supply it in both high-resolution and web-ready formats.

You receive a versatile library of commercial photography, prepared for use across websites, menus, social media, advertising, PR and print.

Planning, photography and finishing are included as standard, with packages starting from £600 + VAT.

Photograph of fish and chips with testimonial from The Village Café and Kitchen: We recently worked with JaxMore Food & Drink Photography, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. The results are outstanding. The images are beautifully shot, well-lit, and really capture the character of our food and space.

We're obsessed, and you will be too! It sums up the joy of corporate sweets and our sense of humour perfectly!

Why Work With JaxMore?

We’re Julia Dallimore and Adam Jackson, and every project involves both of us from planning through to final delivery. Two photographers means more ideas, more attention to detail and more consistency than either of us could deliver alone.

Working across Derbyshire, the Midlands, London and the wider UK, we photograph in restaurants, hotels, bars, production spaces and our dedicated Derby studio, wherever the project is best brought to life.

The same care, creativity and attention to detail that has earned our work national and international awards goes into every commission, whether it's for an independent café or a national brand.

To give every client the time, creativity and attention they deserve, we deliberately limit the number of commissioned shoots we take on each month. That means we can invest more in the projects that matter most.

The best photography often happens when something important is changing:

  • New menus
  • New products
  • New packaging
  • New spaces

Ambitious businesses rarely leave these moments to chance.

If you've got something exciting on the horizon, we'd love to help you launch it with photography that does it justice.

Independent Research. Measurable Results.

Beautiful photography should do more than look impressive.

Independent consumer research by Nottingham Trent University compared responses to the same products, photographed professionally and without professional styling and lighting.

When viewing the professional JaxMore images, participants:

  • expected the product to cost 40% more
  • said they were more likely to buy
  • saw the product as higher quality

That’s why every image we create has a job to do: helping your business get chosen.
