Food photography for restaurants, takeaways or cafes is an essential part of running your business. We eat with our eyes, so make sure your food photography is of the highest quality.
Whether you are a high end restaurant, or run your business via Just Eat or Deliveroo. Having fantastic food photography has been shown to increase your sales by up to 30% – with Deliveroo themselves indicating menus with photos increase conversions by 6.5% as well.
There are three main angles used when photographing food: overhead, three-quarters angle and straight on. Which angle you choose depends on the food you are photographing and where the photo will ultimately be used.
Food photography is lifestyle photography. People love to imagine the food they are going to eat in the perfect situation. Dressing your photos with attractive plates or food related items, and taking photos with enticing backgrounds can really sell your dish.
Different types of lighting can suit different types of food and situations. Hard, direct sunlight will create solid bold shadows, that can make your food stand out. But using indirect sunlight or buying a diffuser can soften your shots like indulgent desserts.
To discuss your food or restaurant photography, just give me a call. I am not a sales person and I love to chat.
