EMILY HAWKES

FOOD | ART DIRECTION

Emily is a commercial director with a focus on food and tabletop and a love of all things colorful and sparkly. Honing her playful vision as a stills photographer, she transitioned into directing by combining her background in film and stage with her bold  photography style. 

Her work is greatly inspired by her experience in theater directing, her love of all things pink, and a twist of campy nostalgia, resulting in work that’s clever, kitschy, and full of optimism. While her bread and butter will always be tabletop, she’s just as skilled with directing talent (both human and animal!) as she is with framing up a decadent burger or capturing the perfect drink pour.

Emily has brought her talents to some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Kraft/Heinz, Purina, Converse All-Stars, 7Eleven, and more.
