Hikaru Funnell Photography

Hi, I’m Hikaru. I work as a London food photographer. I’m passionate about connecting brands and restaurants to their audience. My food photography is shot with a focus on real food, and producing vibrant scenes, to tell relevant and authentic brand stories.

Originally from the East Sussex market town of Lewes, I grew up above my family’s restaurant. From an early age - I’d stand on a stool in the kitchen and help my Dad prep dishes, and go on drives across the county - learning about local ingredients and discovering my spark for food; later developing into hosting my own popular supper clubs.

Now working as a London food photographer - I’m endlessly passionate about producing vibrant and contemporary scenes that connect your brand and product to your audience in your unique voice.

My creative approach offers a seamless service from briefing, through production and delivery of your food photography; this is done by making use of my experience, refined workflows and team of stylists to create meaningful imagery.

Captured in London studios and at locations across the UK - you can find my work frequently used for brand campaign imagery, recipe cards, packaging, and OOH advertising.
