I'm Karyn Booth — an award-winning Food Stylist and Home Economist, specialising in cinematic food styling tailored for filmmakers, producers, and leading culinary brands.
Based in Northern Ireland and working across the UK and Ireland, I collaborate with international productions filming locally, as well as agencies and brands across food, media, and retail.
As an award-winning food stylist, Home Economist, and recipe writer, I create food for both screen and stills—ranging from realistic prop food for film and TV to expertly styled dishes for advertising campaigns, social media, packaging, cookbooks and vehicle graphics.
I work directly with clients to plan each shoot, set up studio kitchens, source ingredients and props, style every dish, and liaise with photographers to capture the perfect image. I manage all the details so your food tells the story you want.

Northern Ireland’s Most Experienced Film & TV Home Economist
I design and make realistic, historically accurate prop food for film and television productions. From the infamous stallion’s heart in Game of Thrones to the magical chocolate table in Netflix The School for Good and Evil, my work helps shape unforgettable moments.
With over 20 years of experience in food styling and my knowledge of food history, I specialise in food props that are authentic, detailed, and production-ready. My credits include the medieval feasts in How to Train Your Dragon, an edible heart for The Death of Robin Hood, an edible raw fish for HBO The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the quirky pickle shop in Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves.
I deliver bespoke food props and styling that elevate storytelling and bring bold, beautiful food to life on screen and in print
