FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY FOR CINCINNATI RESTAURANT – VALERE EVENT AND VIDEO PRODUCTIONS

The W Bar + Bistro tasked Valere Event and Video Productions with food photography for their website. We brought two cameras to photograph and film items that were to be placed on the restaurant’s new menu. These images would be used as valuable marketing materials for W Bar’s website.

SETTING THE SCENE

Three lights were used to set up our scene. First, a light covered with a soft box was hung directly above the table where the food was to be placed. This was our key light.

We raised another light high and set it off to the side, using it as a back light to illuminate the wall behind the table. Our final light was pointed at the ceiling, which served as our fill.

RAPID-FIRE PHOTOS

As soon as we finished our setup, the kitchen started bringing out food. When photos of one dish were done, a new plate immediately took its place.

Our staff is adept in working quickly on set. We pay close attention to the needs of our clients, making sure that we bring external monitors so that they can see what we see through our cameras.

External monitors were invaluable during the W Bar photoshoot. The owners could see the photos and offer feedback. This feedback is important, as it allows us to be quick while also making adjustments on the fly when necessary.

We were able to finish our setup and take hundreds of fantastic photos in just a few hours.

VALERE WORKS FAST & EFFICIENTLY WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY

Our team was brought on with a quick turnaround in mind. W Bar needed the photos to be taken and published on their website the very next day. We had our pictures edited and uploaded before 10 AM the following morning.

Valere has worked on many projects with this kind of timetable, and we are dedicated to delivering on the needs of our clients.

We understand the need to publish content quickly, and can accommodate these kinds of requests in an efficient manner.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEB CONTENT FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Capturing high-quality photos allowed the W Bar to capitalize on their new menu in marketing. The new food items looked delicious, and it was important to display them in the best way possible.

Several dishes highlighted by our photos saw a boost in sales, with the braised short rib with risotto being one of the most popular items that next night.

A well-timed piece of content can have a huge impact for your business. Valere can help you get your product in front of your clients as soon as you need it.
