Photography Styling for Social Media & Print
The restaurant menu is the most essential tool of a great marketing plan. Create a distinctive visual appeal showcasing your menu with food styling from a chef-trained food stylist/photographer. I capture the essence of taste through light and shadow built around a styled meal presentation, the essence of your menu. Let's elevate your culinary creations with expert styling and photographs for daily or weekly social media sites and print advertising.
Lighting Techniques
Utilizing techniques for dynamic theatrical lighting, I explore the art of food styling and presentation in still photography to bring out ingredient textures, colors, and seductive details. My lighting strategies will make your food images stand out on a phone screen or a magazine page.
