Fatto a Mano Pizza. Brighton, Hove, London. 2017 - Ongoing.
I’ve been working with Fatto a Mano Pizza photographing their media requirements since they opened their second restaurant in Hove back in 2017. What stands out to me about their photography briefs are two things in particular: An emphasis on the people who are part of their team, and their profound love and respect for the ingredients they use.
Fatto a Mano Pizza takes Neapolitan food culture to the next level in their restaurants in Brighton, Hove and London. We photograph across these multiple locations focusing mostly on the relationship between the team and the current food and drink they serve. Sometimes we document the team busy in action, other times we organise a styled portrait session, either way, there's always a story to photograph in there.
Occasionally we visit the central kitchen to document team tastings and meetings, to get some details of the production process or to create specific studio photography of their products.
