Home Chef x Gordon Ramsay Five Star Meals

A two-part campaign bringing restaurant-level meals into the home kitchen.

I was brought on to photograph the hero recipe images for “Five Star Meals,” a collaboration between Home Chef and Gordon Ramsay. The goal was simple: make these dishes feel as elevated as they taste, without losing the approachability of a meal kit.

The Approach

Over two weeks in studio, we built out a full library of menu imagery—focused on texture, detail, and that just-plated moment. Clean, intentional, and a little bit indulgent.

I handled full production alongside producer Christy Schmid, working closely with Home Chef’s creative team (Nicole Timmerman and Rebecca Russell) and Gordon Ramsay’s production chef, Avery Pursell, to make sure every dish hit both visually and culinarily.

The Result

A set of images that feel elevated but real, bringing a “five-star” finish to meals made at home.
