GEMMA food menu photography

Photography and post-production

The Project

We love Italian food and were thrilled to get a call from newly-opened GEMMA restaurant to shoot their dishes for their menu!  The shoot was on-location at the restaurant and spanned two days.  Raw ingredients were used alongside the dishes to reinforce a hearty and home-grown feeling.

The Challenges

Not gorging ourselves on all the unbelievably delicious dishes was just asking too much!  Mouths were opened, belts were loosened, and we all walked out of that shoot a few kilos heavier…  But with the most satisfied looks on our faces.

The end result...

…is beautiful still-life food photography that makes the mouth water and want to whisper, “mamma mia!
