‘My friend in hospital said she really missed fresh fruit and bright colours’: Georgia Glynn-Smith’s best phone picture

The London-based food photographer created an image that makes you want to dive in and eat it

Where do we start ... all ice-cream is mashed potato?" asks Georgia Glynn-Smith, food photographer and creator of the London School of Food & Film online masterclasses. When it comes to the industry secrets on photographing food - something she has done for cookbooks by the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Mary Berry, and Tesco and M&S TV adverts, she knows it all.

Anyone can photograph food, but one of the things you need to figure out is what is it that makes you hungry? Is it the melting cheese, the flutter of icing sugar, the drizzle of chocolate, the falling slice of perfectly cooked beef, the crunch of the roast potato? Focus here will make your audience want to dive in and eat it."
