How do your food photography prices compare?

I’m not the cheapest food photographer on the market, but I wouldn’t describe my services as unaffordable either.I set my prices at a level that keeps my business sustainable while making professional photography accessible.Since starting out, my aim has always been to offer the right balance of quality and value.

Can I book a trial food photography session?

Yes, you can.Please mention in your quote request that you’d also like a trial shoot.

Can you arrange a food stylist?

Yes, we work with trusted food styling partners.If you’d like a food stylist to help with your shoot, please mention this in your quote request.

Do you provide the raw images?

I don’t normally deliver raw photos because they are unfinished images. Retouching and editing are what give them their final look. There can be exceptions: for example, if you’re an agency with professional graphic designers and I know my images will be in good hands, we can discuss a separate arrangement.

Do you offer a discount for photographing more dishes?

Yes, we offer attractive volume discounts.Please contact us for details.

What if I still have questions?

You’re very welcome to ask any further questions through our chat window or contact page.
