Food Photography and Professional Food Photography

Pricing is determined based on the number of dishes or products, the type of shoot, the choice of restaurant or studio, set preparation, food styling, the scope of the video, and the post-production workload. Menu shoots, products packaged against a white background, decorated campaign visuals, and Reels videos each require different durations, crews, and equipment.

Yes. We can produce food photography suitable for use in printed menus, websites, ordering platforms, and social media for restaurants, cafes, bakeries, hotels, and takeout brands. Depending on the project, shots capturing the venue’s atmosphere, table settings, moments of service, staff, and beverages can also be included in the same photo shoot.

Yes. Packaged food, beverages, nuts, honey, olives, olive oil, canned goods, and dietary supplements can be safely shipped to our Istanbul studio. Product acceptance, online consultations, shoot planning, selection based on screen shots, revisions, and final delivery can all be handled remotely. The return policy after the shoot is determined at the outset.

If the menu, the restaurant’s atmosphere, and the dining experience are the focus, on-site photography is more suitable. For packaged food, product lines, white-background shots, decorated table settings, and promotional visuals, a studio setting yields more controlled results. When deciding between the two options, factors such as the intended use, kitchen access, product durability, and the number of sets required are evaluated.

Yes. Shots of sauce being poured, drinks being poured, cross-sections, package openings, product usage, serving, and table setup can be included in the short video plan. Content can be produced in 9:16, 16:9, or square aspect ratios. When photos and videos are planned together on the same production day, the set design, lighting, and art direction share a common visual language.

Requirements are determined based on the scope of the project. The selection of plates, surfaces, backdrops, fabrics, tableware, glasses, cutting boards, natural materials, and decor is finalized during the proposal phase. The brand may provide the existing tableware, or the set may be prepared by the LUX team. Projects requiring a dedicated food stylist are also included in the team and budget plan.

The turnaround time is determined based on the number of dishes or products, the type of shoot, video editing, and the scope of retouching. For standard product and food shoots, the selection and delivery schedule are finalized at the start of the project. For most product shoots, 3–10 business days is a realistic timeframe; extensive campaigns and video projects are scheduled separately.

The camera operates while connected to a computer; framing and focus are controlled via the screen during filming. After selecting shots from the approved footage, color correction, cleanup, and formatting are applied. Corrections related to these aspects in the delivered files are addressed within the scope of the project. Requests for new scenes or editing that fall outside the initial scope are planned separately.

No. The food, packaging, decor, floor, surfaces, and lighting are all set up on a physical set; no AI-generated products or sets are used in the delivered visuals. This method preserves the portion size, label details, packaging texture, and product color. The product the customer sees on screen represents the physical product they purchase.

Yes. Depending on the project, stylized video shoots, stylized photo shoots, and product photography against a white background can be conducted on three parallel tracks on the same day. This structure consolidates production that could otherwise be spread over 2 or 3 days into a single shoot day. Thanks to a unified art direction and lighting plan, the menu, e-commerce, and social media assets appear consistent with one another.
