Tasting brief
Menu, brand feel and the dishes that must shine — plus a table booking.

Food Photography
I do food photography for blogs, restaurants, influencers and YouTube channels — but most importantly (if I manage to cook something that looks good), I do food photography for myself. Steam, crumbs and glossy sauces: I shoot food the way it smells.
Menus that make mouths water
I shoot on location in working kitchens, styling with your crockery and linen so the images match the room guests walk into. Natural window light first, a soft strobe when the dining room runs dark — food always looks like itself, just on its best day.
Deliverables cover the whole table: hero dishes for the menu board, process shots for social, and vertical crops for stories and reels. Bloggers get step-by-step series with consistent white balance across the whole recipe.
What's included
Menu coverage — up to fifteen dishes styled and shot in a single day.
Social set — verticals and close-ups sized for every platform.
Food styling — props, surfaces and garnish guidance included.
Commercial licence — menus, delivery apps, press and ads, in writing.
The process
Prep
Shot list timed to the pass, surfaces chosen, props packed.
Shoot day
Plated, shot and eaten in rotation — hot food waits for no one.
Serve
Edited gallery in one week, with crops for menu, web and social.
“Online orders jumped the week the new photos went live. The burger finally looks like the burger.”
— Sam K., owner, Ember & Oak
Do you cook or style the food?
Your kitchen cooks, I style the plate for camera with your team — tweaks for steam, gloss and height. A dedicated food stylist can join for large campaigns.
How long does a menu shoot take?
A fifteen-dish menu fits one full day; thirty dishes need two. I time plates to the pass so nothing sits and wilts under lights.
Can we use the photos everywhere?
Yes — menus, delivery platforms, social, press and paid ads are all covered by the standard commercial licence.
