A plate looks best in its first two minutes. I come when the kitchen is plating - and photograph the venue, the menu and the team the way a guest experiences them in the evening.
Four things sell a venue online: the food, the room, the people behind it and a short film. All of it happens in one morning.
The chef plates as they would for a guest and I shoot straight away. Eight to twelve dishes per half day, with 9:16 crops for the weekly menu on Instagram.
Empty in the morning for the clean room shots, full in the evening for the atmosphere. Both need a menu that works online.
The people behind the stove and out front. People book people - a face on the website beats any stock photo of a plate.
A hospitality session runs like a menu - in a fixed order that follows the light and the kitchen's own rhythm.
Before anyone arrives: dining room, bar, terrace and facade in daylight. These are the images the Google profile needs.
Hands, pans, plating. The part a guest never sees and the one that gives any venue its credibility.
Eight to twelve dishes, each one straight after plating. Landscape for the website, vertical for the weekly menu.
Before lunch service, when everyone is in uniform and not yet under pressure. Ten minutes is all it takes.
Optional, on a second date: full dining room, candlelight, atmosphere. Only with the consent of the guests at the table.
Four building blocks with open prices. If your menu changes regularly, the subscription costs less than any single session.
Several locations, an opening night or a whole menu at once? The configurator gives you a guide price in a minute - or just write to me.
Beforehand we decide which dishes belong in front of the camera and which corners show the venue best. So the session is not improvised.
Usually between delivery and lunch service, or on a closing day. The kitchen plates, I photograph - no flash, no rigging in the dining room.
The finished selection as a download, landscape and vertical. An urgent image for a running promotion reaches you the next day.
Usage rights for website, menu, Google profile, delivery platforms and print are included and not time-limited.
Not quite what you need? These are the other areas I photograph.
