What the studio does.

Food first, and everything that surrounds it: the product, the packaging, the room and the people working in it.

Food photography

Menu, hero and editorial imagery. Natural light where the room allows it, shaped light where it does not. Shot fast, while the plate is still right.

  • Menu stills
  • Hero images
  • Editorial sets

Product & packaging

Still life for launches, retail listings and press. Considered surfaces, honest texture, and none of the plastic gloss that makes a good product look printed.

  • Launch imagery
  • Retail listings
  • Press kits

Bakeries & patisseries

Viennoiserie, pastry and bread. Meringue holds for about four minutes and crumb photographs best within the hour, so these run on the kitchen’s clock rather than mine.

  • Counter and case
  • Macro detail
  • Seasonal specials

Hospitality & lifestyle

Rooms, hands, service and atmosphere. The photographs that make a place feel like somewhere you have already been, shot around your service rather than through it.

  • Interiors
  • Service in motion
  • Team portraits

Brand libraries

A bank of photographs built across one or two sessions and cropped for everywhere you publish, so you are not commissioning a shoot every time you need a post.

  • One or two days
  • Every crop
  • Twelve months of use

Motion

Short vertical video cut alongside the stills, for reels and paid social. Shot the same day in the same light, so the motion and the photographs look like one piece of work.

  • Vertical cuts
  • Silent loops
  • Same-day capture
How it works

Four steps, no theatre.

Most shoots run start to finish inside two weeks.

  1. Conversation

    What you are making, who it is for, and where the images need to live. Twenty minutes is usually enough.

  2. Creative direction

    A short reference set. Light, palette, surfaces, angles, agreed before anyone turns an oven on.

  3. Shoot

    Half or full day, on location or in studio. Your team keeps working, we stay out of the pass.

  4. Delivery

    Edited and colour graded, sized for print, web and social. Usually within a week.

Included

What you get, every time.

The same regardless of the size of the shoot.

Every commission is delivered fully finished. There is no separate retouching line, and no charge for the crops you need afterwards.

  1. Half day

    Up to four hours. Suits a single product line, a seasonal item, or a focused menu refresh.

  2. Full day

    Up to eight hours. Suits a full menu, a launch, or a brand library built in one go.

  3. Ongoing

    A recurring session for kitchens that change a menu often, so the imagery never falls behind the food.

Rates

Quoted per shoot, not per photograph.

Scope decides the price: how many dishes, how many finished images, whether motion is included, and where the images will run.

Tell us what you are making and roughly when it needs to be seen. You will get a fixed number back, not a range.
