Why choose Restaurant and food in Berlin?
A food photographer in Berlin works across a very wide range of kitchens: street-food counters, cafés in old tenement buildings, restaurants with open kitchens and tasting menus. Many places here sit on the ground floor of those buildings, with large shop windows onto the street and deeper, darker rooms behind. Daylight at the window tables is often ideal for dishes, while the back of the room comes alive in the evening with lamps and candles. The photographs end up in many places — your website, delivery apps, guides and social media — each wanting a different shape. So the session plans not only the dishes but also the room, the team and the work at the pass, to produce a set that covers all of those uses.
Sessions fall between lunch and dinner service, roughly three to five, when the kitchen is prepared and the dining room is empty. Places that only open in the evening use the late afternoon before service. In winter, daylight is gone by half past three, so in the darker months we start earlier. A new menu is best photographed one or two weeks before it launches.
What does the session in Berlin look like?
In advance, you send a list of dishes and the order in which the kitchen can prepare them. On site we set up at the brightest window table, and plates come out one at a time so each is photographed fresh. Between plates come shots of plating, hands at the pass and the team. The session ends with the dining room once tables are laid and lights are on. Thirty edited photographs, in portrait and landscape, follow within five working days.
What does the package include?
The Restaurant and food package in Berlin covers: 30 edited photographs; Up to twelve dishes plus room and team frames; Scheduled between services; Portrait and landscape crops for the menu, the site and delivery platforms; Gallery within five working days. Nothing is added to the price after the session. It takes place indoors, so street permits do not apply.
FAQ — Restaurant and food in Berlin
Our menu changes weekly. Is a single session still worth it?
Yes, if the set focuses on what stays constant: the room, the team, signature dishes and details such as bread, coffee or wine service. Those images last. For changing dishes, a smaller set of close frames against the same table and light can be added later so the style stays consistent.
Do you need our kitchen to cook extra portions?
Usually one portion per dish is enough, plated as it would be for a guest. For items that wilt or melt quickly, such as salads, ice cream or anything with foam, a second portion held back helps. The dishes can be eaten by the team afterwards.
We are opening a new place in Berlin. When should we book?
Once the room is finished and the menu is settled, ideally a week or two before opening. That leaves time for the full gallery to arrive and be uploaded to your website, maps listing and delivery apps before the first guests start searching for you.
