restaurant photography
Restaurant photography is where I cut my teeth into the food photography world. The high energy gets my juices flowing, I am well seasoned working in tight spaces and fast-paced energy. Ideally, a space where your clients' experience will not be interrupted is the best place to photograph your signature dishes.
Process
1 let's get on a call
I want to hear it all about it, your project details, your questions and your vision for this photoshoot. Let's schedule a discovery call and go over all your needs and ideas.
2 Moodboard
Equipped with your project details, I create a mood board that will guide us visually, and help identify our goal for this shoot. Color, mood, props and lighting setup are all considered.
3 shoot day
I come to you! equipped with all the lighting, props and equipment to execute your vision. To prepare for this date I ask that you set aside a space where I will not be in anyone's way. Also, a table set up, the way you do for guests, is a good way to bring your restaurants' atmosphere to your images. I come equipped with general props, but I also suggest you provide props that are unique to your restaurant. That could be a table setting, napkins, cutting boards, glasses, these can all be determined while on our discovery call.
4 deliverables
Expect to receive your images from the shoot 7-10 business days after the shoot. I will send you a gallery and dropbox link so you can both view and download your images easily. Your Dropbox link will store your images for 6 months after your shoot date. During that time you will be able to share the link and conveniently download when needed.
