Next Saturday 27 June, we are offering a smart phone food photography workshop featuring PROPS, in London & also online via Substack.

During the workshop, you’ll have time to get hands-on, taking photos with props, produce & flowers.

Sign up for annual subscription on my substack https://patricianiven1.substack.com/ & you’ll get ’fly on the wall’ access to our workshop via Substack Live.

DATE: Saturday 27 June 2026

Happy Friday, friends! 🌞

I’ve now delivered a bunch of smart phone food photography workshops with the wonderful food stylist @brilliantbake where we explore how to take better photos using your smart phone camera.

On Saturday 27 June, we will be joined by amazing prop stylist @maxwhrobinson. Max works on cook books, with food & drink brands & you may have seen his work in Waitrose magazine. His previous experience in costume means he has a great eye for fabric, a penchant for car boots & loves to set a scene.

Scroll through the carousel to see some images of a wonderful selection of props Max has gathered for recent projects.

During the workshop, you’ll have time to get hands-on with props & taking photos & you’ll be able to ask us any questions relating to prop styling, food styling or photography that you might have.

If you work in food & would benefit from a more props-focused workshop to create great images to support your brand or clients, this workshop is for you.

We’ll cover lighting, angles, composition and most especially props.
Katie will bake us some tasty treats to photograph - and eat!

Join us, it’ll be fun! Link in bio to book via my Linktr.ee or on my website patricianiven.com under Workshops.

This is a special one!
I’ve now delivered a bunch of smart phone food photography workshops with the wonderful food stylist @brilliantbake, where we explore how to take better photos using your smart phone camera.

On Saturday 27 June, we will be joined by the really amazing prop stylist @maxwhrobinson. Max works on cook books, with food & drink brands & you may have seen his work in Waitrose magazine. His previous experience in costume means he has a great eye for fabric, a penchant for car boots & loves to set a scene. I shot with Max on an Italian cook book called Veganissimo! & he brought such beautiful items, particularly fabrics, & a joyous energy to the project.

We’ll run a little longer than some of our previous workshops, so you’ll have time to get hands-on with props & taking photos & you’ll be able to ask us any questions relating to prop styling, food styling or photography that you might have.

If you or someone you know would like & benefit from a more props-focused workshop, we’d love you to join us!

Château de Fontainebleau In all its renaissance & baroque glory. Loved it. Never got round to posting then but here’s some from Napoleon I’s low-key cosy home, a day trip from Paris late last year & far less busy than Versailles too. On the hunt for tapestries! 

All those times when people ask me what kind of cat bed does Duchess, our ragdoll, want.. Easy, a lavishly gilded, Cupid adorned, dripping in floral silk one. Like Marie Antoinette’s boudoir in pic 8. 🐈 by @maxwhrobinson

I made @alexinaanatole ‘s charred mackerel with rhubarb sauce and celeriac remoulade (on the guardian website) this week, it has become a staple, so good ! Which got me to pick up her second book Sweet from the shelf for some inspiration for the weekend 🍨 . Also about a year since it came out! & here’s some of my faves 😍

Wedding vibes, but silver.

This one came together slowly. I was up half the night placing silver beads one by one, exactly one cm apart. I’ve been obsessed with metallic details for a while now, and this felt like the ultimate retro finish.

I ended up doing the final touches on set, which always feels a bit unhinged, but the second we started shooting, I knew it was worth it.

I love when a cake feels considered, sculptural, and celebratory all at once. Could you imagine this being your wedding cake?
