Food Photography FAQ's

What is true-to-colour food photography? Colour that matches the real dish. No de-saturation, adding a preset changing the yellows and greens, so customers get what they saw. It is achieved by lighting the scene in the right way and retouching with presition

Do you offer food photography outside Wānaka? Yes. Brandstories is based in Wanaka and shoots throughout New Zealand, including Queenstown, Christchurch and Auckland. Or you can send product down to my home studio and I can execute the brief from Wanaka

Who do you shoot food photography for? Food brands, restaurants and hospitality venues, and the agencies or in-house marketing teams that work for them. Work switches between e-commerce photos, styled food imagery and lifestyle content for food and drinks.
