Question 1

How much does restaurant menu photography cost in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

Volume-tier pricing: $30 per image for 15–20 images, $25 per image for 21–99 images, and $10 per image once you reach 100+ images (minimum spend $1,000). Most café and restaurant menu shoots land between $540 and $1,000.

Question 2

Do you come to my restaurant, or is the shoot in a studio?

Accepted Answer

Every shoot is on-location at your venue. We bring professional lighting, surfaces and gear to your kitchen — no studio drop-offs, no shipping food across town.

Question 3

How long does a typical menu shoot take?

Accepted Answer

A 15–25 dish shoot takes 3–4 hours on-site. A full 25–60 dish menu library is a single full day on-location (7–8 hours). Larger 60+ image catalogues split across two shorter days.

Question 4

What is the minimum booking size?

Accepted Answer

15 images is the minimum booking. Below 15 it doesn't make economic sense for either side once travel and setup are factored in.

Question 5

Do you shoot for Uber Eats, DoorDash and Menulog?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every menu shoot includes square plus landscape crops, consistent white-balance across dishes, and files named to match your menu items. Files are sized and ready to upload to Uber Eats, DoorDash, Menulog and your Google Business Profile.

Question 6

When do I get the photos back?

Accepted Answer

Edited, web and print-ready files are delivered within 5–7 business days. Urgent turnarounds (3 days) are available on request — mention it during the call.

Question 7

Which Melbourne suburbs do you cover?

Accepted Answer

All of Greater Melbourne. Strongest networks across the western suburbs (Footscray, Point Cook, Tarneit, Truganina, Werribee, Sunshine, Deer Park), plus regular work in the CBD, Carlton, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Richmond, South Yarra, St Kilda, Prahran, Epping, Craigieburn, Preston, Dandenong, Glen Waverley, Clayton and Springvale.

Question 8

What if I'm not happy with a photo?

Accepted Answer

Every shoot includes one free re-edit per dish, no questions asked. If something fundamental needs a re-shoot, we organise that on the next available date.

Question 9

Can you also shoot the venue and interior?

Accepted Answer

Yes — venue and ambience photography is a $450 add-on combined with a menu shoot. Includes front of house, fit-out and service shots. Standalone venue shoots are also available.

Question 10

Do I need to provide plates, surfaces or styling?

Accepted Answer

No. We shoot on your real plates, in your real space — that's the whole point. We bring extra surfaces, props and lighting as needed.
