Case Study: Berkeley Catering - Menu Food Photography

Brief.

Berkeley Catering are one of London’s leading corporate and events caterers with over 20 years’ experience. As a returning client, and after our previous sessions together, they briefed me to photograph 40 canapé items during a one-day booking.

The goal was to refresh their menu food photography for new items on their canapé menu - for use on their website, online ordering platform and marketing, showing off the variety and quality of their canapés in a clean, consistent style.

Before the shoot, I shared a session plan for our time, and shared my menu food photography client guidelines - advising on plating, and small details that make a big difference.

On the day, we efficiently moved through the menu food photography of the 40 canapé items. The items were set on my food photography backgrounds and I lit them with studio lighting to be consistent to our previoius sessions and to show the quality, shine in sauces, vibrant herbs, and the richness in sauces without over-gloss.
