    “An incredible experience from beginning to end. The photographer was very professional, easy to be around, and made us feel comfortable from the first moment. The photographs came out beautiful and caught the essence of the trip perfectly. We would do it again without a doubt.”

    “We booked a session to celebrate our anniversary and it was one of the best decisions of the trip. The place, the light and the photographs were spectacular. We also had them back very quickly. Recommended a hundred per cent.”

Frequently asked questions about Food photography

Do you shoot during service?

No. Half a day, before opening, in the restaurant's own light. Shooting during service means either a kitchen under pressure or plates that waited, and both are visible in the photograph.

Do we need a food stylist?

No. The kitchen plates each dish as it goes to a guest, which is the honest version and the one a customer will recognise when it arrives at the table.

What crops do we get?

Forty photographs, each delivered cropped for your own site and for the delivery apps, which want a square and will crop it badly themselves if you do not.

Human support

Not sure which session is right? Talk to a real person.

No chatbot. Someone who knows the photographers and the places answers, and helps you pick the session, the hour and the spot.

A dish photographed on a white sweep under a studio light looks like a product, and a product is not what a restaurant sells. What it sells is a room at a particular hour with particular light in it, so the photography is done in that room, at that hour, on the actual tables, with the actual glassware. It means working around the window rather than against it, and it means starting at ten in the morning and finishing before service.

Each plate gets three frames rather than one, because a menu, a website and a delivery app all want different things from the same dish. A dish frame from above for the listing, a detail at plate level for the site, and a wider one with hands and a table for social — which is the only one of the three that has ever made anybody hungry.

Half a day before opening, 40 retouched photographs delivered within seven days, cropped for the website and for the delivery apps, which have their own aspect ratios and will crop badly if nobody does it deliberately. Menu redesigns and multi-site groups are quoted separately.
