What does a food photographer actually do?
In addition to hotel photography, food and drink photography is a central part of Piquant Production's offering.
Find out what a food photographer does and why investing in a professional food photo shoot pays off in this food photography blog post.
After we have already in this food photography blog post how a hotel or restaurant can prepare for a professional food photo shoot, today we explain what a food photographer actually does.
And for good reason. Because we often find that there is still a lot of room for improvement in food photography. Especially in the areas of quality, innovation and style, food photo productions leave a lot to be desired. This means that many hotel and restaurant clients do not manage to successfully present their culinary highlights to their customers via images and film.
The job of a professional food photographer is to present your dishes in the best light and take high-quality photographs.
We set the scene for your dishes
We work successfully with hotels, restaurants, catering companies, food producers, ... and present dishes and drinks in the right light with creative and stylish concepts and compositions.
The food photographer takes various elements and aspects into account:
the concept of your hotel and/or restaurant in order to develop an appealing image concept for your dishes and meals
the existing props and props (crockery, cutlery, textiles, decorative objects such as vases, etc.) in order to realize the image concept in all its details and facets
the choice of location, because depending on the image concept developed and the realities on site in your hotel and/or restaurant, a food photo shoot in the studio may make more sense and lead to better results
the high-quality styling of the dishes and the set-up. We often have our own food stylist on set to ensure that the best possible results are achieved with the food photos
detailed planning of the food photo shoot to ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently
the preparation of the food photo shoot, in which the best food images are selected and prepared in various formats
