THE STAR INN, HIGHLITTLETON

A commission to shoot The Star Inn as part of a brand refresh. A proper Somerset village pub that needed a bank of images for their website, social and ongoing promotions.

The approach was to shoot the place as it actually feels rather than staging it. The bar, the food, the details, the dog. Images that could work across their marketing without looking like stock photography.
