Food Photography and Restaurant Lifestyle Photo Report Amsterdam

Food photography has become an important part of the business for a restaurant professional. As a restaurant professional, you know how important it is to look after your online presence and your digital image. Visual platforms like Instagram are an essential part of the dining experience and more and more, before choosing a bar, a restaurant, a brasserie, customers are searching for information online. Thanks to social networks and search engines, they can quickly make up their mind, two elements will help them decide: the reviews left by other customers and the photos of your restaurant and dishes.

If you have very little control over reviews, on the other hand, it is up to you to put online catchy and appetizing images that will highlight your spaces and your plates and reflect your brand. It is essential to have stunning food pictures, made by a professional food photographer.

An onsite photoshoot at restaurants isn’t just food photography, it is a blend of product photography, stylized shots of dishes, and lifestyle authentic photography. For example, behind-the-scenes photography at the bar, event-style photography to capture the atmosphere, and a mix of images that will help you to have a strong and professional online presence.

I had a great time shooting with Melanie. She's just so friendly and professional. She will keep you at ease during the photoshoot that makes the picture looks natural. There's no dull moment when working with her. Plus points is she deliver the pictures ahead of agreed time. I strongly recommend her for everyone who wants to have fun while taking great photos in the Netherlands.

I can only say: Melanie is very flexible, dedicated and perfectionistic in her work. She prepares very well and leaves almost nothing to chance.

During our wedding preparations we had our first meeting. We got to know her in advance, and she helped us to improve our wedding schedule. Very nice.

Several weeks before our wedding, Melanie travelled from Amsterdam to our wedding venues. Together we decided what the best location was for group photo's (in terms of daylight and group size) and for our brides couple photo's. Superb.

During the wedding she was Melanie was very energetic and enthusiastic - for over eight hours straight. Her pictures are beautiful, and she even made some small videos for us.

We are very happy with the 1700 photo's 🙂

Melanie recently took photos during our party, with great results. I think taking pictures of people dancing in a dark room is the hardest thing there is, but Melanie managed it. And how! All photos razor sharp, people laughing, friends dancing, well lit. Thank you very much for this lasting memory.

Professional photographer with the friendliest and kindest attitude! Melanie offered so many solutions and ideas for our proposal photoshoot and helped keep me calm as plans changed due to weather or last minute hiccups. I was able to stay in constant contact with her and everything went according to plan. Highly recommend!!

For our PR workshop of the German National Tourist Board in September 2020 (corona-proof edition) we worked together with Melanie and were more than satisfied! Melanie is very professional, the planning and communication before the event was uncomplicated and fast. She brings her own ideas, but also pays close attention to what the company wants. The results are really great - Melanie definitely has an unique way of capturing people's emotions. Thanks again for your great work and see you at our next event!
