Value For Money

6/17/2024

When I shoot any restaurant, I make sure I capture each dish in a variety of angles. Firstly it gives the client a choice if they have engaged me to supply images for a website refresh, but also it gives them an opportunity to have content they can use on social media without posting the same picture of each dish time and time again, or worse, supplementing professional photography with hasty shots taken as a dish leaves the kitchen on its way to the customer.

My advice is to make sure you have enough content for both website and social media posts. So many times I see websites with great professional images, but a social media gallery that doesn't even come close to capturing the food at its best. Most restaurant photographers will offer a package to include shooting each menu as it changes seasonally so that you have great imagery to support your business throughout the year. Additional photos of your location, staff/chefs, bar, cocktails etc tell the story even better, giving your customers a real insight into what your offer, but when budgets are tight, the food must be the star. An experienced photographer will know how to capture your interior into the shots.

I have a genuine desire for my clients to thrive, and keep prices low allowing for repeat and sustainable business. My service doesn't end when the photos are delivered; I am always available for advice and help.

If this feels like a relationship that could work for your business, please do get in touch.

A Wedding Breakfast
It was my pleasure to photograph a wedding breakfast created by Colline Watt, owner of Colline's Kitchen recently. With a bubbly and nurturing nature, it's no suprise to me that this mother from Zimbabwe wants to feed us all with delicious, fresh and sustainable food, along with a decadent cake or two, and how typical that, on the first date that weddings were permitted in the UK after lockdown, she got the call and I found her in a pretty garden with spectacular views piling food and flowers on to a table in a high wind, and creating an edible work of art.
Colline's successful cafe business, set in the historic Town Hall in the market town of Newbury has been put on hold since Lockdown in March, but she maintains a service, delivering food as diverse as Afternoon Tea and Mongolian beef stir fry, sourcing fresh ingredients locally.

BUNTING
When Jo, owner of The Bunting Basket asked me to photograph her bunting, I read her bio, and discovered how the business began, and how it came to be named The Bunting Basket. After making bunting for a family christening, Jo was innundated with requests for it from her friends and aqaintances, and she soon began to sell it at craft fairs, carrying her stock in a wicker basket. When I read this, I knew a picnic basket had to feature in my photographs. I looked at the fabric designs, and thought about the premise for the business and then began to prepare my shoot.
