Samantha Linsell's passion for food began at an early age and as a young child she could often be found in the kitchen standing on a chair baking a cake or mixing biscuit dough. She went on to study Hotel Management where she received her formal culinary training and worked in various roles within the hospitality industry.

This interest for food was further encouraged while working on numerous food brands within the FMCG marketing field. As a brand manager she was involved with product introductions and promotions on an ongoing basis, working closely with the creative teams on many photographic shoots.

With 20 years of hospitality management and food marketing experience, Sam's move into food styling is a natural career progression, combining her culinary skills and wide professional experience to produce inventive, appealing and creative images which answer to her clients brief. Making food look beautiful, fresh and appealing is what she loves to do.
