Danny Barnett Food Stylist & Photographer

It's a few years old now, but this is a Greggs TV ad I was food stylist for. It was captured in various locales around Newcastle, including homes, shops, parks, and even bus shelters. It was the first time I worked with this crew, and as expected, they were all outstanding. A top-notch team from actors to directors, runners to wardrobe and everyone in-between. A great crew always ends in a great edit, all thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone involved. #TVCommercial #TVproduction #foodstyling #foodstylist

So you've seen the sponsor ads, now it's time for the main event. This was the 30 second commercial created for Florette. Although this was released last year, the memories of preparing all those meals on a makeshift table in a narrow hallway using a portable stove and countertop oven are still fresh . It's not all glamorous, but needs must when we were filming in the kitchen. Despite the long hours, the crew was fantastic, and the end result was truly impressive. #recipedevelopment #recipeinspiration #TVCommercial #recipecreation #TVproduction #foodstyling #foodstylist

The last sting (TV Sponser) of this set and possibly one of my favourite recipes. Grilled courgette, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and a zesty lemon dressing give this pasta salad a fresh twist on a typical pasta and sauce quick-fix dinner. #recipedevelopment #recipeinspiration #TVCommercial #TVproduction #foodstyling #foodstylist

Let's give that frozen breaded fish in the back of the freezer a make-over. Fresh, vibrant and most of all tasty. Another sting for Florette turning the mundane into something more appetising. #recipedevelopment #recipeinspiration #TVCommercial #recipecreation #TVproduction #foodstyling #foodstylist

It's been a while since the last post, but let's continue with some more Florette work completed earlier this year. These were stings (sponsored ads) used before cooking shows to showcase how the mundane can be transformed to something a little less dull. #recipedevelopment #TVCommercial #recipecreation #TVproduction #foodstyling #foodstylist

Great news to share on a Friday! https://lnkd.in/ed8Tp3yD

Finally getting the chance to review some of my previous work from last year is truly satisfying. I had missed out on this when it was first released. These projects were a result of a collaborative effort with the amazing team at Re:Production and were commissioned by Florette for creating some idents on the food network. The experience of working on these projects was truly enjoyable, thanks to the exceptional team involved. While the final recipes were not a requirement, I put together the ultimate salad dishes based on their brief. Making the ordinary a bit more enticing to consume. #TVproduction #FoodPairings #foodstyling #foodstylist #teamwork #salad

What a pleasure to finally view some of my past work. This ident, along with a few more that I'll be sharing, was produced last year. (I missed this when it initially went live). These projects were crafted in collaboration with the fantastic team at Re:Production and commissioned by Florette for the creation of some idents on the food network. It was a great couple of days and a great team. Although final recipes weren't required, following their brief, I pulled together the final salad dishes, making the mundane a little more exciting to eat. #TVproduction #FoodPairings #foodstyling #foodstylist #teamwork #salad

https://lnkd.in/ext6GHAu Great team work as always.

A rare plea, but I’d love your help! I’m extremely proud and privileged to have worked with great clients over the years, but this week has raised the bar as I’ve been made aware that some of my recipes developed for BBC Food are now live on their site! Check ‘em out! https://buff.ly/4cyZItC The recipes have been designed to be quick mid-week vegetarian meals, requiring minimal pans and ready in under 1 hour. I can honestly say they are delicious and, I’m chuffed to see they've already received some 5 star reviews. However, in the world of algorithms, the more ratings the more exposure, so please check the recipes out. Try them this week, tinker with them, put your spin on them and create your own version, but please, please, please leave a rating - it really would mean the world to me. Seeing my name along side some serious heavy hitters when it comes to cooking is a real honour and something I couldn’t have imagined ever happening. I feel incredibly lucky to have been given this opportunity and today is definitely a pinch yourself moment. A massive thank you for all involved 🙌
