Food Photography for Food Delivery Aggregators

May 07 2023

Recently I have done lots of food photography for Food Delivery Aggregators like Talabat, Noon, Deliveroo, etc. and I would like to share here in this Blog post how I normally do the shots for the menu. The style for this type of food photography is to make it simple, unnecessary garnishing or addition of paraphernalia for the purpose of styling is minimized in this type of food photography.

First thing I do is to shoot the table with a white balance card, here I am using a white color "white balance card", this is used for white balance correction in post processing as a reference.

This is the normal first shot I do, just the plate with the food in it. Photo retouching is not yet done in this photo.

Then I take some close-up shots

Then I take from different angle, Food Delivery Aggregators requires only simple images, as much as possible only the food itself that the restaurant serve when a customer orders. No extras needed in the photos.

Then I take some shots with the addition of some simple props, the photos can be used for some marketing purpose like for social media, digital displays, and their own menu books.
