A restaurant photo shoot works best when the chef, manager, and photographer agree on which dishes to prioritize, where the photos will appear, and when the kitchen can plate them. Kirstin Boncher Creative photographs food, interiors, and the people behind the service on location.
What belongs on the shot list?
Start with signature dishes, a few drinks, a wide view of the dining room, and the entrance so first-time guests can recognize it. Add chef or staff portraits and details like a bartender finishing a drink. The Palm Beaches dining guide offers local context for how restaurants present their dining experience to visitors.
How do you fit photography around service?
Agree on a window with the kitchen and front-of-house teams. Photograph interiors and clean table settings before service if the room will be empty then. Coordinate plating so melting desserts or freshly poured drinks reach the set when the photographer is ready. Discuss permissions in advance if guests will appear.
Which crops will you need for the website, menus, and social media?
A wide interior can work for a website banner, a consistent crop can tie digital menu photos together, and vertical compositions suit social posts. Flag any homepage or launch image early and leave time for chef or owner portraits if they are part of your press kit.
