I can't help but get a bit of a kick out of describing my job sometimes. During the weeks that I was working on this shoot for Town & Country magazine, I was asked by friends, family, colleagues, strangers "what are you working on at the minute?". I couldn't help but enjoy the looks of surprise and bemusement on their faces when I said "cheese". "Cheese?" they'd say, and I'd say "yes, and bread...". And here are the results.
My job was to source the bread and cheese of course, and I worked with some amazing companies to get the finest of both. After all, they were to showcase these extraordinary luxury time pieces and jewels (for full jewellery and watch credits, please see Town & Country magazine).
Firstly I would like to thank the extremely talented, helpful and generous George Bellamy-Adams, head baker at Albion. He baked these beautiful bespoke breads especially for us and they look amazing (I can also tell you that they tasted delicious too..).
The cheese was provided by two very knowledgeable retailers.
English cheeses were provided by Neals Yard Dairy. Fiona Sanson in particular was passionate and full of advice and guidance.
French cheeses were provided by La Bouche. Stephane Cusset went out of his way to help and helped me solve a couple of mysteries.
