Food photography questions

What can be included in a food photography shoot?

Menu dishes, drinks, preparation, staff, service, venue details and short video can be scoped together. The useful mix depends on where the files need to appear.

Do you photograph cafes and restaurants on location?

Yes. The shoot is planned around the real venue, available light, kitchen timing, service access and the agreed menu or campaign priorities.

Should every dish be photographed?

Not always. A focused set of hero dishes and supporting details can be more useful than trying to rush an entire menu. Send the menu and intended uses so the coverage can be prioritised.

Can staff and venue images be captured at the same time?

Yes. Staff, counter service, interiors, signage and exterior details can be included when they are part of the brief and schedule.

Can the images be used for social media and Google Business Profile?

Those uses can be included. Mention every website, platform, menu, campaign and partner that needs the files so usage is clear before booking.

Can food photography and video be booked together?

Yes. Stills and short motion clips can be planned as one shoot when the venue needs both formats.

How is food photography priced?

Quotes are based on the menu or product count, styling and preparation needs, venue access, intended usage, deliverables, travel and deadline.

Do you travel outside Adelaide?

Yes. Regional South Australian and interstate hospitality jobs can be quoted when the brief and schedule fit.
