Hi, I’m Reda May!

I'm a Dublin-based commercial photographer specialising in food, drink, and lifestyle content for brands across Ireland’s vibrant food and coffee scene. With over 16 years' experience as a coffee specialist, I’ve spent most of my career immersed in the world of food and drinks. That deep, behind-the-scenes knowledge now shapes the way I work behind the lens - capturing not just how things look, but how they feel. I create vibrant, story-driven photography for coffee shops, restaurants, roasters, producers, and food-led brands who want to connect with their audience through strong, scroll-stopping visuals. From styled product shots to behind-the-scenes storytelling, I bring technical precision, a relaxed approach, and a creative eye for detail to every shoot. Whether you need a full campaign, social media content, or fresh imagery for your website or menu—I’ll help bring your brand’s story into focus.
