Diner Media

Food
Photographer

A food photographer for hire, working worldwide, shooting for restaurants, hotels and food brands.

One studio handles the whole thing: direction, styling, shooting and grading. You brief once, you approve once, and you get a set of images that agree with each other and with the room they came from. We take on six projects a year, so the calendar is honest.

Who we shoot for

01

Restaurants and bars

Menus, launch campaigns and the everyday images a room needs to look like itself online.

02

Hotels and resorts

Dining, breakfast, bar and room service photographed as one story rather than a folder of plates.

03

Food and drink brands

Packaging, product and lifestyle frames built for retail, out of home and paid social.

04

Chefs and producers

A personal archive: hands, process, portrait and plate, shot the way you actually work.

Questions we get before a booking

How much does it cost to hire a food photographer?

A shoot day with art direction, styling, shooting and a graded set of finished images starts in the low four figures in euros. The exact figure depends on the number of dishes, the location and where the images will run. We send a written quote before anything is booked.

Where do you travel?

We shoot worldwide. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately and kept as lean as possible.

Do you bring a food stylist?

We style the food ourselves, working with your kitchen rather than around it. For campaign work with heavy prop or set requirements we bring a stylist and prop list into the quote.

How long until we get the images?

A first selection within a few days of the shoot, final graded files inside two weeks, sized for menus, print, out of home and social.
