Project Description
FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
Food photography should say a lot more than just “this is a plate of food”.
It should capture the time, effort and passion that has gone into that particular dish,
the ambience of the restaurant and the personality of the chef.
Making the mouth water and the stomach rumble is the perfect reaction. The ideal food photograph should not only look good, it should make you hungry to eat it. We can create the right image that will make people not only want to eat what you are serving but want to be part of the experience too.
Whilst we are based in Lancashire, our food photography has taken us to Cumbria, London, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Scotland, Wales and even abroad, such as Texas and Alabama.
I work with a number of food stylists, in particular Adam Dalton of Dronfield.
How Restaurant Owners Use Food Photography
As many restaurant owners understand, the methodology of marketing to a target audience isn’t just driven by the business, it’s driven by their clients.
GFX and Renaissance Fruit
I wondered how the Fujifilm GFX 50s would deliver on a nice, low key food image, not too dissimilar to the renaissance era paintings we are familiar with. It really wouldn’t take an awful lot to light it, to be honest. Pretty much a single light, and a reflector.
Food Photography for The Emmott Arms, Colne
Mark, who owns the Emmott Arms, asked for a full range of images. This was to include food photography, and also interior and exterior images. He also wanted to include some staff imagery, although rather than headshots, he wanted lifestyle images that would reflect the character of the establishment.
Food Photography in Wirral
I was asked to visit a young lady by the name of Kathryn Whitehill, in Heswall, Wirral who needed some food photography. She had been a contestant on Masterchef, and has a food blog entitled Simply cooked with love. She felt she needed some new images to help kickstart her new site revamp. A lovely lady, and her site is a good resource for home cooking recipes.
Food Photography in Barrowford, Lancashire
Quite often, when presented with a dish to be photographed, I want to isolate a specific part of the food, rather than present the whole thing. This could be derived from the main ingredient, or the most photogenic item amongst the whole platter.
Photographing Food at the Enterprise Vision Awards
The food provided for the attendees at the Enterprise Visionary Awards is always something special. And this year, they didn’t disappoint.
