Early Years

Artemi Kyriacou, born in Manchester to Greek Cypriot parents.
She grew up with her families’ bespoke gents tailoring business, where she often watched her father layer precisely cut materials together to make a bespoke made to measure suit to perfection. Learning that hard work, patience, passion, and an eye to detail led to rewarding results.

Artemi's earliest memories of where her food passion came from was of traveling to a farm, where they would take along a large milk churn to have it filled to the brim with raw milk. This would be the main ingredient to start the process of make homemade halloumi. It was fascinating to watch and learn, taking a liquid and turning it into a solid, curds and whey, Halloumi and Anari.

Artemi's teenage years opened a door to a creative career path. An "Art and Foundation" course exposed her to many different creative subjects which led her to branch out into photography. This led to four more year's studying photography, two years at Mid-Chester college and then after securing a place at "Blackpool & The Fylde " college where she completed her Higher National Diploma and PQE in photography.
From a very young age, creativity has always been high on Artemi’s skill sets, her early years path led her to become a successful London based photographer.

Moved to London in the early 90’s.

After working with some wonderful inspiring people within the industry, went it alone in the mid 90’s.
Lucky to have landed my own commissioned work straight away with some prestigious clients as a still-life advertising photographer.
Clients included campaign’s for: Kronenbourg 1664, Compaq, and Kodak.

By the late 90’s I was being commissioned by food clients, jobs ranging from editorial magazines, packaging and ongoing advertising campaign’s.

Clients include: Nestle, Sainsbury’s, Sub-Zero & Wolf, Waitrose, Green Giant, KraftHeinz, Heston, Didier’s Patisserie, M & S to mention a few.

I love working together with the talented people of our industry.
From pre-production meetings to post-production perfection, we come together seamlessly, embrace challenges, putting together the jigsaw that will create the end visual result.
