Food Photography
At the very beginning of Covid, when everything was shutting down and turning to virtual community, we saw just how important a business’s brand presence is. Being able to see each dish on an online menu, or to see photos of daily specials each morning on social media, makes is so much easier to appeal to both new customers unsure of what to try and repeat clients interested in your latest creations. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you convey your brand in your photos.
From website photos displaying your restaurant's best dishes to photos of individual plates for your online/printed menu to action shots for social media, I get to know you and your brand to convey your story through the imagery we create. To complement your stills, we can also work together to create a website banner video as well as shorter social media reels to showcase your restaurant in action!
Every one of my food photo collections includes 3 elements:
Your In-Depth Consultation
This is how we get to know each other! Though we will, of course, have an introductory consult to make sure I'm the right photographer for you, this consultation will go much more in-depth. We'll examine your business goals, look over your current marketing material to see what dishes to photograph, and create a plan for your photo session to best showcase your brand.
Your Customized Photoshoot
Your business is an extension of you, so I want to tell your story in the best way possible. I strive to create a relaxed atmosphere so that your food not only looks delicious, but tells the story behind its creation. Based on our consultation, we will spend our time creating anything from a portfolio of behind-the-scenes focused social media images, to styled scenes for print marketing, to macro ingredient shots for decorative wall prints. In photographing to meet your needs, I also keep in mind where you'd like to add copy over images, the sizing of photos needed, and the colors in your branding.
Your Gallery of Images
Included in every one of my branding collections is an online gallery from which you can store and download all of your images; this acts as a secondary point of storage so that you never lose access to your photos. From here you can also purchase prints, canvases and framed wall galleries - this is a great way to decorate your bakery or restaurant!
“If you are looking for a quality, detail-oriented photographer, look no further. Adrian with Adrian Etheridge Photography continues to impress me with each new shoot I ask her to do. She has a creative and wonderfully artistic style, and focuses on telling a story through her photos. Not only does she absolutely rock at portrait and action photography, but she is one of the best food photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Aside from her creative and artistic abilities, she is an absolute pleasure to work with, and always shows up with a positive attitude and a smile on her face.”
Eye-catching Website Photos
These are a small selection of our best photos, meant to guide the viewer through the information on your website in order for them to visit, order or book with you. They should both catch the viewers eye immediately and then retain their attention to retain them on your page.
Drool-worthy Menu Pictures
It is often difficult to order from an unfamiliar restaurant, or to order an unfamiliar dish, without knowing what it might look like. We first eat with our eyes, and so having thumbnail images of each offering allows clients to gravitate towards anything and everything they’d like to eat most.
Styled Social Media Imagery
The goal of social media is to both garner new clientele and remind your repeat clients of your presence. Delicious-looking photos of favorite dishes, action shots as you prepare them, even simple ingredient photos are a great way to curate your visual brand mission as well as to share your journey.
“Adrian has an amazing talent. She is a gifted photographer, a magician. For a young person to have this level of expertise in her craft is highly unusual and refreshingly joyful to see. She makes it seamless and effortless. There is no 20 minutes of moving people around for the “perfect” position, she nailed it within seconds, and we were a large group! I am EXTREMELY picky about photographs, I am a real estate agent and I take pictures all of the time, and I know the value of a good picture. I saw in Adrian a professional the moment I saw her set up. Truly a delight! Adrian has my highest admiration!”
