For many of us to travel around the UK with Tomasina Miers and Guy Grieve eating what they’ve foraged and caught would be a dream. Camping, fishing, shrimping, shooting, poaching and chilling at the end of the day over looking the Atlantic.
But work it was, and for a lot of the time having to shoot around a TV crew made it more of a challenge. But distractions and obstacles aside, for the book that accompanied the series the job was to capture the idea of living off the land and documenting how to grab some of the low and not so low hanging fruit.

About Jill
Jill’s love of photography blossomed from early expeditions with her family, taking pictures of abandoned farms on the North York Moors. She now feels incomplete without a camera and is fascinated by pretty much everything
"Everyone has a story to tell. I am not sure how it happens but when I ask the un-askable questions people open up. Whether I am working with a shy child or the most volatile chef on earth. The more trust you build, the more authentic the outcome.
Working with Antman back-up comes with many advantages: chief amongst them simply being able to concentrate on my job. The ratio of successful shots is testament to this.”
