ABOUT ME_

Mark Anthony Maxwell Setchfield

Welcome to marksetchfield.com

I’m a London-based creative director, food stylist & content creator. With 25 years of experience working for award-winning global brands, in the UK and the United Arab Emirates. I also have an extensive background in art direction, photography and video shoots.

My 360-degree approach is regularly showcased across editorial and commercial projects. From recipe creation, prepping, cooking, styling, photography to creating original content for websites to how-to videos.

As a Creative Director, I have launched and redesigned some of the biggest-selling international consumer titles/brands. I’m experienced in every stage of project development, from initial concept to completion.

I’ve collaborated with major brands – such as Nutricook, Spinneys, Voco Hotels and Union Coop – creating print, in-store, social media and video content. Not only that, but I have also created content for The Guardian Labs and The European Commission for Butter, and hosted a weekly food column in one of the UAE’s largest circulated newspaper supplement, Gulf News, Tabloid.

My website gasmarksix is where I showcase my own recipes, food styling and content creation. This has given me a wealth of experience working on a myriad of solo projects to create stunning images and videos.
