Quirky Cooking

I met Jo Whitton 18 months ago when myself and the team from Confetti Mag  wrote an article on her. I’d read a little about Jo through her blog and facebook page and keen to hear more of her story.
After several catch-ups over a year, Jo mentioned she was doing a cookbook with Thermomix and gave me the opportunity to submit my photographic folio to Thermomix. I was very excited about the possibility of shooting for a cookbook, as it’s on my ‘dream list’ of photography goals!

Success! I was commissioned by Thermomix Australia to showcase the lifestyle and surrounds Jo Whitton’s Quirky Cooking life for her cookbook. The photos were used throughout 228 pages, in a textured square format cookbook. Jo has a strong fan base who are very interested in the way she lives her life and Thermomix wanted to showcase this ‘personal’ side of Jo to go along with her recipes.
I spent two days with Jo and her family in the Atherton Tablelands documenting her living space, the landscape, family, her regular haunts and sentimental pieces that helped to tell her ‘story’. The photoshoot utilised solely natural light because the cookbook needed to feel ‘organic and real’.

Spending time with someone who is passionate about what they do, shooting in a spectacular part of the world and being able to eat food all day is definitely my idea of a dream day at work!
Jo’s success is no social media ‘fluke’, she works really hard, walks her talk and is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge. I can’t wait to see what is next for Jo Whitton!

{The cookbook was designed by the talented team at ‘Chil3’. The lifestyle photos were taken by me (Honey) and were placed alongside the food photography that was taken by Craig Kinder who is based in Perth. Find out where to buy this book here.}
