Food photography for Yorkshire street food business

Food Photographer Yorkshire New Business

12th September 2012

El kantina is a fantastic new street food business from Yorkshire serving up mexican and southern style street food. It is headed up by Laura Gill, a real passionate foodie, who started the business after many years of working in the food industry in a variety of roles.

You can currently find them attending food festivals and shows around the region and beyond, and their future plans also include a home delivery menu too. Please visit their website for more information http://www.elkantina.co.uk/

The photography we produced for El kantina was a mix of different shots to show the various dishes which are currently available on the menu. These images will go onto form part of the marketing plan to promote the business on their website and in other online and offline areas.

Using professional photography to promote your business and your products is a vital element of your marketing plan.

Within the food industry to help promote your product you must use all avenues available to you, online and in printed form. To do this you need strong, hard working images which can fulfill the needs of your promotion.

Using visually stimulating and exciting images will engage the viewer and create an almost instant hit of attention that only images can do, in this fast pace world of media that we all experience, catching a moment in time that you can attract your potential customers is becoming even more and more important.

As a food photographer I have spent many years photographing a huge range of food products in studio and on location for food producers, retailers, hotels and restaurants around Leeds and the Yorkshire region and beyond.

Presenting your food products in the best possible light is where I can help. Through experience and also teaming up with professional food stylists we can create the winning formula.

The grocery market is worth many billions of pounds every year, and to compete in this market place you need to show a clear professional look to your products.

Commercial Photography for Leading Jewellery & Watch Retailer

25th July 2012

I was recently commissioned to produce a series of projects by a leading jeweller in the UK.

It was a great pleasure in being chosen to complete the work after working closely with the company to formulate a shooting schedule which not only produced the finished images in good time, but also produced a step forward in the image quality which represented the products for the new aspect for the business.

Working with clients to achieve a positive step forward in the quality of the images that represent their business is a key aspect of being a Commercial Photographer.

Many companies need a professional photographer to promote their products and services on their website and as an experienced commercial photographer working in Leeds and the Yorkshire region I have been involved with a great variety of projects covering Jewellery Photography, Product Photography and Food Photography.

Here you can see an example of one of the photographs produced for the business.

The first stage was to produce the product image as a cut out shot, this process of photography is called this, as the original background is removed, or cut out, in post production.

This is how the jeweller required the images for the e-commerce site. I then, in post production as an alternative to the original shot for my portfolio page, added a black background and a pattern to compliment the watch itself.

Cut out photographs and pack shot photography are often words used to describe the type of commercial photography that a business needs to advertise and promote certain products. This may be for a new venture,  or new offer that the business may be running, what's important here is that the final images work hard to promote the product itself but also the business as a whole, as high quality images always succeed in selling themselves and many business report of increased sales when commissioning a professional photographer.

Please take a look at the Jewellery Portfolio to see more examples.

Recent Photography Projects Update

Professional Photographer for Food Corporate Portraiture & Location Photography

 

6th June 2012

A catch up now with some recent projects completed over the last few weeks.

There been a variety of projects completed all under the banner of Commercial Photography.

We have covered Food photography, in studio, Location food photography & Corporate portraiture.

The diversity of the projects undertaken all have one common theme, the client requires their images to work hard to display and deliver the message they need the image to communicate.

From the corporate portraiture project, there was a time scale to fit into, as the normal day's business was underway, so as a professional photographer you need to use your experience to turn up to the project and carry out the work as efficiently as possible, without fuss and leave with a selection of images which answer the brief.

As a Food photographer, again your skills learned over many years come into play, the images need to be taken and answer the design brief as efficiently as possible. The two images seen here are for two very different types of food company, one is a small artisan producer and another a much larger UK wide food supplier.

Working with a variety of clients gives my potential new clients a professional photographer who can answer their commercial photography projects with the back up of experience.

If you are looking for a commercial photographer please take a look around the portfolios Food, Still Life & Product, Jewellery, Creative, People, Location & Interiors.
