Professional Food & Drink Photography | Product & Restaurant Photographer

Professional Food, Drink, Product & Restaurant Photography

For the past four years, I have specialized in food photography, collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including food manufacturers, event organizers, private chefs, catering companies, restaurants, cafés, pubs, and the broader hospitality industry.

My goal for every shoot is to capture food as a lifestyle or styled photograph, ensuring each dish looks inviting and mouth-watering. I focus on:

  • Composition: Arranging food elements creatively and aesthetically.

  • Lighting: Using natural or artificial light to highlight textures and colors.

  • Colour Theory: Enhancing the natural hues of the food to make it pop.

  • Atmosphere: Creating a mood that complements both the food and your brand's identity.

After discussing your brand’s vision and requirements, we’ll plan and execute a photoshoot tailored to your needs. Whether you need fresh imagery, updates to existing photos, or a complete visual overhaul, I’m here to help bring your ideas to life. With my expertise, your food will look as incredible in photos as it does in real life.

“Sam provided a photo shoot for my cafe, Forget Me Not Cafe in Moulton Community Centre and my catering business Choice Catering. The photos are outstanding and we have had loads of positive comments from our customers. Sam was professional throughout and we all had a really fun day creating our dishes for her to shoot. Would definitely use Welly Pictures again
Had Sam come and do a second shoot for us. Nothing was too much, there was a lot of waiting around for Sam and she was extremely accommodating and the final pictures are amazing - Thank you Sam”

- Jennifer Neil

THE PROCESS DETAILS & EXTRAS

  • We can meet in person, talk on the phone, or via Zoom to discuss your brand, goals, and how I can help. I'll share my experience and process and answer your questions. After our initial meeting, we'll have a creative brainstorming session to plan your photoshoot. We will explore ideas that showcase your brand's unique atmosphere, highlight your offerings, and identify key storytelling elements.

    This collaboration ensures the shoot matches your brand's identity and goals, resulting in engaging visuals for your audience.

  • After you confirm the date and time for your photography session, I'll send you an online contract and deposit invoice. Once I have received your deposit, I'll secure our shoot time and begin planning.

  • I focus on making the food look great and highlight each dish. Every part is arranged to enhance your culinary creations. I use high-quality cameras, reflectors, and lighting techniques to produce excellent images that match your brand's style and creativity.

  • I will create a mood board to show your preferences before the photoshoot. This board captures the style and look we want to achieve, providing inspiration and ensuring everyone understands the desired atmosphere and story.

    This step helps to align the team’s creative vision and guarantees that the results reflect the essence of your brand.

  • Once the photoshoot is complete, we move on to the crucial post-production phase. This involves carefully selecting, editing, and retouching images to ensure they consistently meet our high standards of quality.

    ·       Image Formats: You’ll receive both high-resolution images for print and optimized versions for web and social media use, all stored in a digital format for easy access.

    ·       Usage Rights & Licensing: Clear instructions on image usage rights and licenses will be provided, allowing you to confidently use the photos across multiple platforms.

    ·       Private Gallery: You will receive an email with a link to a private online gallery where you can view, select, and download your favourite photos.

    ·       Larger Files: For larger sized images, we can provide them via WeTransfer, making it simple to receive high-quality files for any specific needs.

  • I appreciate your support and ask that you tag my social media accounts when sharing the final photos or behind-the-scenes content. In return, I'll tag you when I share images from your session.

    Your feedback means a lot to me, so please consider leaving a testimonial on Google reviews. This helps me improve my services.

    I will also add you to my newsletter to stay connected. Our partnership goes beyond the photoshoot, and I look forward to building a lasting relationship with you!
