Chicago Food Photography
Food Photography That Sells More Food.
Restaurant photography, menu photography, catering photography, beverage photography, and social content for Chicago restaurants that need their food to look as good online as it does in person.
Why It Matters
People eat with their eyes before they ever read the menu.
Whether someone finds you on Google, your website, Instagram, DoorDash, Uber Eats, OpenTable, or a printed menu, your photos are often the first taste of your restaurant.
Most restaurants do not need a complicated photo shoot. They need clear communication, a smart shot list, good timing, and someone who understands how fast food changes once it hits the table. That is where Commercial Photo Video comes in.

FAQ
Common food photography questions.
Do we need to close the restaurant?
Usually no. Many shoots can happen before service, between rushes, or in a section of the restaurant that keeps the kitchen and dining room moving.
Should we prepare a shot list?
Yes. A shot list helps a lot. We can also help you build one based on your menu, website, delivery apps, and campaign goals.
Can you shoot catering and large spreads?
Yes. Catering and full-table spreads are a great way to show scale, variety, and the feeling of ordering for a group.
Do you photograph packaged food products?
Yes. We photograph packaged foods, grocery items, retail products, labels, e-commerce images, and campaign content for food brands.
