Food Photography
Photography that fits into a working kitchen, not the other way round.
I specialise in capturing the moment of plating (from the counter to the table) without disrupting your service. No elaborate setups, no asking the kitchen to stop and wait for me. I photograph dishes as they are: real colours, real textures, real plating.
Two ways I work
During service
I come in during your busiest hours and photograph a wide variety of dishes as they’re prepared and plated: real conditions, real pace. This is how most of my restaurant shoots happen, and it’s usually the fastest way to cover a full menu.
Dedicated menu shoot
For a full menu refresh, plates are specially prepared so I can shoot them properly: good light, the right angle, time to get every dish right. I bring a full setup: lights, backgrounds, and a laptop for real-time editing on site, so you can see results as we go.
