Food Photographers FAQs

• What is food photography?

  Simply put, food photography is taking photos of food. However, it’s more than just taking snaps of food. In food photography, food is the main subject and is made to look professional, and that’s because food photography photos are typically used for commercial purposes. These include being used for websites, advertising, and menus. Furthermore, food photography can also be used for food packaging.

• Do Fiverr food photographers cook my food?

  Some Fiverr food photographers will take photos of the food you’ve prepared, while some will happily put their cooking chops to use and do both the cooking and the photography. If you want to take your photos up a notch, you can also consider working with a food stylist or ask your photographer for recommendations.

• How can I find a food photography near me?

  Use Fiverr’s search bar to find food photographers in your area. We have search filters that can help make your results more specific, especially if you’re looking for photographers outside of the US or require additional services like photo retouching, staging, or background removal.

• How do I choose the right food photographer?

  To choose the right food photographer, you need to look at their portfolio. This way, you’ll get an idea of their style and skills and whether they offer services like food preparation. Some photographers also specialize in certain types of food. For example, if you have a pastry shop, you might want to look for a photographer who specializes in photographing pastries.

• How long does it take to photograph food products or meals?

  How long a food photography photoshoot will take will depend on factors like the type of food being photographed and the number of dishes you have. A session can take around 1-2 hours. This includes the time it takes to set up the shoot and edit the photos. In some cases, it can take up to a full day. The key here is to not let the food sit around for hours on end because this can make the food start to look unpleasant.

• How should I prepare my food for a photography session?

  Before the photoshoot, you’ll need to make some preparations. You can start preparing a day before the shoot by cutting up your veg, making sure your herbs look fresh, and gathering the equipment you need, like baking trays and mixers. Alternatively, if you won’t be preparing the food yourself, you’ll need to decide beforehand who will be responsible for preparing it. You can also consult with your food photographer early on. This way, you’ll be able to go through the necessary considerations together. Also, consider the type of food you’ll be using for the session. If it’s cold, like ice cream, it’ll melt eventually, so make sure that you orient your photographer beforehand so they can take steps to ensure that your food will still look good in the photos.
