About The Hero Shot
Food and product photographs have one job: make someone want the thing. We shoot menus, packshots, e-commerce sets and campaign images for restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens and product brands from our studio in Pune, and we film product videos and reels in the same session when you need moving pictures too.
What's included
- Planning the shot list with you: dishes or products, angles, backgrounds, and where each image will be used.
- Food styling, included in the quote. We can also work with your own stylist.
- Clean white-background e-commerce photographs, and styled lifestyle images with props, textures and custom lighting.
- Glass, metal, jewellery and glossy packaging, lit so they read clearly instead of reflecting the room.
- Retouching on every delivered image.
- Files sized for your website, Swiggy and Zomato listings, print menus and social media.
- Product videos and reels from the same set, if you add them.
How it runs
- Brief. You send the dish list or product list and where the images will go.
- Plan. We agree the look, the shot list and the location: your kitchen or our studio, depending on the food. Products can be shipped to us, or we shoot on site.
- Shoot. A food session usually runs 2 to 8 hours, depending on the number of dishes. We check every frame on set with you.
- Deliver. Edited files through a secure online gallery, in high resolution and web sizes. Photographs usually in 5 to 7 working days; video in 1 to 2 weeks.
Who it's for
Restaurants and cafés launching or refreshing a menu, cloud kitchens on delivery apps, bakeries, food and FMCG brands, D2C and e-commerce sellers, and agencies that need a reliable studio for a campaign. If you need fresh content every month, ask about a monthly retainer.
