How does it work?

Book your food photographer and videographer in Sydney, we suggest choosing a quiet time of the day, typically the first part of the week and before lunch hour. Usually, we visit the restaurant in the morning and shoot until before lunchtime. We also offer full day shooting if the output requirements are higher than usual (many photos and video), in which case you should book a separate room of the restaurant so we can can some allocated space for shooting all day.

2. Before shooting day

The information we will need is the number of dishes you would like to shoot, so we know how many plates are coming out of the kitchen on the shooting day. Would be amazing to have smartphone photos of those dishes so we know exactly what we’re shooting. Or you can send us a list of the dishes, with the type of plate/bowl they are served in. We also need to discuss the photography and videography style, to better suit your restaurant style with your imagery. You will be advising your restaurant team that on that day a food photographer and videographer will be on site.

3. Shooting day staff requirements

We usually recommend having your kitchen team on shift a little earlier than usual, so they can be ready to pump out dishes as soon as the photography set is ready. Yourself or the manager will be available to assist.

4. Shooting day food photography operation

The kitchen needs to work in sync with the food photographer. The food photographer calls one dish at a time, with a 10-15 minutes gap between dishes (list and order of the dishes will be provided).

5. What does the video guy do

The food videographer will be actively collaborating with your kitchen staff while they prepare the dishes from early morning. The videographer will be filming the process of preparing and cooking every dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book photography or videography only?
Yes, you can book your food photography services or videography services independently. Simply drop us a line or get in touch through our contact form, and we’ll be happy to get in touch for a custom quotation.

How long does the photo and video shoot last for?
Usually half day, the photo-video session takes place at a quiet time of the day, in a quiet part of the restaurant, so we can focus on taking the best shots. Generally, if your requirement is to photograph more than 15 dishes, then the photo session will require more time.

When should we organise the photo and video shoot?
We suggest morning, before lunchtime. Other than that, it’s really up to you and your necessities. Generally speaking, outside heavy restaurant working hours, because we cannot produce quality pictures and videos if you and your staff are super-busy.

What information do I have to provide?
Before shooting day, you provide us with a list of the dishes you would like to shoot, with details of what kind of plates they’re served in (bowl, plate etc.). You can even send us smartphone photos of those dishes, so we know how they look and we can come more prepared.
