Café & food

Your menu, your space, your people.

Food and venue photography for cafés and restaurants across south-east Melbourne, with the owners and staff in the frame. Shot before opening or between rushes, so service keeps going.

On the day

How a café shoot runs

  1. Before

    We agree a shot list: which dishes, which corners of the room, and who's happy to be in photos.

  2. During

    I bring lights and work around you. Your team keeps working while I photograph what's really happening, plus the dishes you want to lead with.

  3. After

    A private gallery within 7 days, ready for your menu, website, socials, delivery apps and print.

Café questions

Do you style the food?

You plate it the way you serve it, and I light and frame it. If a dish needs a fresh plate for its hero shot, we'll do that together.

Can you shoot while we're open?

Yes. Some of the best moments happen during service. We'll plan the set-ups so I stay out of the way of customers and staff.

Do my staff have to be in the photos?

Only the people who are happy to be. Anyone who'd rather not is kept out of frame.

Can I get photos every month?

Yes, that's the content plan: a regular visit from $350 a month.
