Case Study: Stilvi Cafe

Brief.

Owned and operated by my clients at Elia Greek Street Food, Stilvi Cafe is their sister restaurant brand with venues in Hawley Wharf Camden and Camden Boxpark.

Stilvi specialises in cute desserts, including pancakes, soft-serve, and waffles, as well as hot coffee and iced coffee. Stilvi operates in bustling areas within Camden.

The team reached out to me with a food photography brief to capture content for in-store and for online ordering platform, Deliveroo. The in-venue imagery was to be used on screens and printed into menu graphics, covering the entire topside and counter of the unit.

Approach.

Knowing what types of visuals they like at their other brand, Elia - I had a quick call with the owner to run through how many menu items they had, as well as taking a look at their branding.

I suggested a 1/2 day session to capture menu food photography of their 28 items, including shooting a hero banner image of their best-selling items; this goes at the top of their Deliveroo ordering profile.

During our session, I brought a collection of light pink and soft white backgrounds to really highlight the cute branding, and to create contrast in their food photography, in combination with soft studio lighting.

Their menu food photography was delivered within 72-hours of their session and it’s great to see my work covering their unit at Hawley Wharf, Camden.
