Dessert Photographer

If dessert is the best end to a meal, dessert photography is the best part of a food photographer’s work. Brent gets particularly excited to shoot playful and inventive sweet things — he’s got a massive sweet tooth!

But because desserts often incorporate small elements, a dessert photographer must pay particular attention to detail. The placement of tiny, beautiful items is key. And when it comes to shooting particularly hot or cold products, speed is everything. With his particular skills as an ice cream photographer and as a general sweets photographer, Brent always promises drool-worthy images. If they’re not equal in sweetness to the desserts you’re putting out, they’re even better!

Dessert Photographer for the Instagram Era

It’s an old saying that “you eat with your eyes first.” But Instagram brought this to another level entirely — diners go out of their way to click and share pretty dishes. Towering sundaes and refined dessert delicacies are now the norms in this space. More than ever, pastry chefs and sweets makers have to consider the visual impact of their desserts.

As a professional dessert photographer, Brent creates images that push through the crowd. He works with advertising briefs and branded campaigns to create signature images of desserts and sweet products. Or can simply create highly unique images that get customers drooling on social media.
