Emma Paling McGough is a commercial photographer based in the North East of England, she graduated from Cleveland College of Art and Design (now The Northern School of Art) with a first class honours degree in Photography.

Emma's passion is for food photography; her inspiration to create beautiful images of food comes from the desire to construct a concept, inspiring the viewer to make, share, and eat good food.
