Our Food Photography Process
Each shoot is planned around your menu, brand style, and intended usage. We coordinate timing, setup, and shot lists in advance to keep production efficient—whether we’re photographing a single dish or a full menu. On set, we focus on lighting, angles, and consistency to deliver images that feel cohesive and ready for real-world use.
Pre-Shoot Planning
Before the shoot, we discuss your menu, brand style, intended usage, and priorities. This includes deciding which dishes, drinks, or products will be photographed, how they’ll be presented, and how the images will be used across menus, websites, and marketing.
On-Set Execution
On set, we work closely with chefs, bar teams, or in-house staff to photograph each item at its peak. Lighting, angles, and styling are adjusted in real time to ensure every dish and drink looks fresh, accurate, and visually consistent.
Editing & Delivery
After the shoot, images are professionally edited for color accuracy, texture, and consistency. Final files are delivered ready for real-world use across digital and print platforms, with formats tailored to your needs.
