Yorkshire Chorizo gets a makeover

We know that Chris will go to any lengths to promote his beloved and popular Yorkshire Chorizo and this time he’s even managed to blag a free photo shoot with food photography specialist, Mark Ingram and food stylist, Janice Dunn.

We arrived at Mark’s studio beside the canal in Gargrave near Skipton and found him in the middle of a shoot for a major chain of coffee outlets, taking photographs of cakes and biscuits.

Undeterred, Chris pulled out the famous sausages and presented Mark with the challenge of coming up with a glossy product shot at very short notice. Mark and Janice soon got to work looking through props and discussing with Chris how he would like to present the product. This is where experience and a good eye come in and the pair soon had a set put together with the chorizo as the centre piece. With subtle lighting and a good choice of props the picture was soon coming together.

Mark has worked with some major brands over the years including large supermarket and hotel chains and enjoys photographing food, more than most things. He let us into some of the secrets of the trade and made it look far more simple than it really is.
