Food photography that earns its keep.
A half-day photo day at your restaurant is $600 + travel — hero plates shot on professional equipment, by a photographer with fifteen years in film and television camera departments. Then every frame goes through the House Recipe, our proprietary blend of AI processes, so one shoot serves your menus, your socials, and your print. AI is the darkroom, not the chef: your real food, never invented food.

$600 + travel
Real food. Really shot. Then served every way.
Campaign plates from the in-house years, all photographed on set and finished through the House Recipe. Warm and moody for the wall; clean on white for the menu, the app, and every LTO surface.









In-house work for a South Georgia restaurant group, shown as the counter we learned behind.

Your actual dishes, professional camera equipment, styled at the pass.

The House Recipe re-lights and re-stages each dish so one shoot yields a full library.
3. Served every way
Menu panels, lifestyle crops, social squares, print — every size, from one day of shooting.
** Straight answers **
How much does restaurant food photography cost?
A half-day photo day is $600 plus travel. The menu + photo package — the full menu system plus the shoot — is $1,800. Already have photos? We finish them through the House Recipe at $45 per image.
What is the House Recipe?
Our proprietary blend of AI processes. We shoot your real food with professional equipment, then model and re-light it so it can be served every way a restaurant needs. AI is the darkroom, not the chef — we never fabricate a dish.
Do you use stock photos or AI-generated food?
Never invented food. Every image starts as a photograph of your real dish on your real plate. Some finished images are then rebuilt from those photographs by AI — new angle, new light — with the dish’s likeness held. We tell you which is which, and you approve every image before it ships.
What's the travel charge?
Golden Isles is home turf. Inland trips are billed at cost and clustered with other jobs to keep it low.
