More Than Just Food Photography

I don’t just photograph finished dishes – I capture the full experience of your restaurant.

What I shoot:

  • Your food – beautifully lit, naturally styled dishes and drinks
  • Your kitchen in action – chefs working, dishes being plated, the pass during service
  • Your team – portraits and candid moments of the people behind the food
  • Your space – interiors, atmosphere, the dining experience
  • Behind-the-scenes content – perfect for social media and brand storytelling

Why this matters: Your customers don’t just buy food – they buy the experience. Show them the whole story.

I work quickly and quietly during your service or quiet hours, so there’s minimal disruption. You’ll get 30-60+ images delivered within 5-10 days, ready to use everywhere – menus, website, social media, marketing.
