Restaurant Photography.
Growing up above my family’s restaurant in the East Sussex countryside, I have a deep-rooted passion for amazing ingredients, and interesting food stories. At the heart of my restaurant photography, I really enjoy teaming up with chefs to capture contemporary and vibrant food photography that showcases their food and the unique feeling of their restaurant.
Coming back to roots of growing up above my family’s restaurant as a child - I’m driven by my passion for food, and the great chefs that showcase the amazing ingredients that we have on our doorstep in the UK.
Whilst capturing food photography for restaurants - it’s important for us to produce content that is authentic to your space and the experience of your guests.
A great place to kick off the restaurant photography project is to learn about what types of content your guests aspire towards, and looking ahead to each season to see where we can expand on this over time - building on your narrative and updated offering throughout the year.
I’m a big fan of using the context of dining spaces for food photography, as we can readily make great use of them to capture a great series of content - spanning multiple angles and environments with our session - including team member holding a dish to add a personal touch.
To add a lifestyle element, we can bring in talent or team members at the dining space - placing them in the background, or actively tearing into a pillowy bread, or dipping for more movement.
What ties restaurant photography shoots together is capturing narrative content of your team - showing the people and faces not usually seen that make it happen and give your guests a great time whilst dining with you.
This can be captured as contextual portraits, or reportage content of the chefs cooking in the kitchen, plating up at the pass, or food photography of the dishes being finished at the table.
