I have a loft style apartment situated between London's Barbican and Old Street.  It's a great space for food and lifestyle shoots as

everything is designed to be photographed and to be moveable, so it can be rearranged in lots of ways and the light is beautiful from

ten huge windows with white voile blinds.

A terrific new Waitrose has opened a few yards away which helps with shopping for a food shoot - forgotten or unplanned items can

be got in a matter of minutes. Additionally, there is a large Marks & Spencer food store in Moorgate about 10 minutes away and just

outside Whitecross Street market has good vegetables and delicious ethnic food stalls for interesting lunches!
