Food Photography FAQ
What is your experience with food photography?
We are professional food photographers specializing in commercial food photography for restaurants, brands, and food vendors across New England. Our portfolio includes Dunkin, Hood, My Grandma’s Coffee Cakes, 6AM Health, Annie’s Gluten-Free Bakery, Golden Girl Granola, Aranap Wine Sellers, Mister Mac’s, and many local restaurants. We create high-quality images for menus, websites, social media, cookbooks, and marketing campaigns.
What is your pricing structure for food photography?
Our pricing is based on half-day or full-day rates and includes professional image editing. Optional services such as props or a professional food stylist are available for an additional fee. We provide transparent, customized quotes tailored to your project’s scope and budget.
Do you provide food styling and props?
We provide basic styling and props to make your food look its best. For complex styling or highly specific visual concepts, we recommend hiring a professional food stylist. We can collaborate with your stylist to ensure your images reflect your brand’s unique style.
How long does a typical food photography shoot take?
A standard food photography session usually takes 4–5 hours and produces 25–30 high-quality images. Full-day shoots (about 8 hours) are ideal for longer shot lists or additional content, such as food lifestyle images, chef or staff headshots, and restaurant interior and exterior photography.
What is included in the post-production process?
All images are professionally edited for exposure, color, contrast, and sharpness. We remove unwanted specks, crumbs, or debris to create polished, clean images. Optional services include background removal or shooting on a seamless white background for commercial-ready visuals.
Do you provide image licensing for food photography?
Yes. Our quotes include commercial usage rights for a specified number of client-selected images. Additional images may incur a per-image licensing fee. Rights are clearly outlined so images can safely be used for menus, social media, websites, marketing campaigns, and other commercial purposes.
Can you photograph restaurant interiors and staff?
In addition to food, we can capture chef and staff headshots, lifestyle images, and restaurant interiors or exteriors. This ensures a consistent, professional visual identity across all marketing channels.
