Manchester Cocktail Photography, FOOD & dRINK

Hi, I’m Mark, a Manchester commercial photographer based in Doncaster/Manchester, with a versatile portfolio covering everything from snazzy cocktails and Michelin-star food to high-performance sports cars. Oh, and did I mention I’m also a award winning UK wedding photographer!.. With over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings across the UK and around the world.

Drink Photography Manchester

Working as a professional cocktail photographer in Manchester is one of the most rewarding and creatively fulfilling roles I could imagine. This city has a vibrant and ever-evolving drink scene—from speakeasy-style bars in the Northern Quarter to luxurious lounges in Spinningfields—and each venue has its own story to tell. As a Manchester cocktail photographer, my goal is to capture more than just an image; I aim to bottle up the experience, the mood, and the artistry of every cocktail I shoot.

To truly master drink photography in Manchester, you need a deep understanding of both photography and mixology. Lighting, composition, and timing are crucial, but so is knowing when a garnish will wilt or how condensation plays against a chilled coupe glass. I often work closely with bartenders and mixologists to ensure each element is camera-ready. It’s not just about making the drink look good—it’s about telling a story that reflects the venue’s personality and the drink’s unique character.

Whether I’m shooting editorial content, social media campaigns, or updated menu photos, my focus is on clarity, color, and mood. Manchester’s bars are full of contrast: moody industrial interiors, neon signage, and warm candlelit corners. Each shoot location offers something new to play with, and that’s one of the things I love most about cocktail photography in Manchester

Drink Photography Manchester

We live in a visually driven world. When someone is scrolling through Instagram or browsing a bar’s website, it’s the imagery that stops them in their tracks. That’s where I come in. Quality cocktail photography isn’t just nice to have—it’s a core part of your marketing. Great images showcase the craftsmanship behind each cocktail and give potential customers a reason to walk through your door.

I’ve worked with a variety of clients across Manchester, from independent speakeasies to large hospitality groups. For each project, my aim is to align the photography style with the brand’s identity—whether that’s sophisticated and minimalist or bold and playful. Drink photography in Manchester is competitive, but that’s exactly why standing out visually is so important. With the right angles, lighting, and post-production techniques, we can turn your drinks into powerful storytelling tools.

Working in Manchester: A City That Inspires Creativity

Manchester is such an exciting place to be a cocktail photographer. The city’s bar scene is constantly evolving, with venues pushing creative boundaries not just in their drinks, but in their interiors, menus, and service style. That creativity feeds directly into my work.

From rooftop terraces with skyline views to underground hideaways with flickering candlelight, every setting influences how I approach the shoot. I always scout the location beforehand, plan lighting setups based on natural and ambient light, and bring along a toolkit of surfaces, glassware, and props to enhance the scene if needed.

Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with local brands, distillers, and bar owners. Collaborating with such passionate professionals keeps me inspired and pushes me to keep innovating with my photography style. Whether it’s for a new menu launch, a seasonal campaign, or a brand’s social media revamp, cocktail photography in Manchester continues to offer endless creative possibilities
