The challenge is helping people who have never visited before feel the same way.
They can't taste your food.
They can't experience your service.
They can't enjoy the atmosphere you've worked so hard to create.
Before they decide whether to book a table, visit your venue or buy your products, they make one important judgement.
Does this look like somewhere I'd enjoy?
Every photograph on your website, Google Business Profile, menu, social media and marketing helps answer that question.
Your customers rarely compare your business with every option available.
They compare it with a handful of alternatives.
Two pubs.
Two restaurants.
Two hotels.
Two cafés.
Two food and drink brands.
When prices, locations and reviews are similar, people look for reassurance that they're making the right decision.
Research shows that over 70% of UK consumers say high-quality visuals influence their food and drink purchasing decisions. [1]
Research also shows that 85% of consumers say appealing food photography influences where they choose to eat. [2]
Strong photography helps create that confidence before customers have even walked through your door.
Independent consumer research by Nottingham Trent University compared responses to the same products photographed professionally and without professional styling and lighting.
When viewing the professional JaxMore images, participants:
Nothing about the food changed.
Only the photography.
The research shows how much influence an image can have before a customer experiences the product for themselves.
Nothing about the food changed.
Only the photography.
People rarely judge value from price alone.
They judge it from the confidence they have in what they are buying.
In the Nottingham Trent University consultancy research, the same products were associated with a higher average price estimate when shown with professional photography.
The average estimate increased from £43.97 to £61.52.
That gives businesses a stronger platform to compete on quality, experience and value, rather than price alone.
Before customers taste your food or experience your service, they form expectations from what they see.
Research suggests that 75% of consumers judge a brand's credibility by the quality of its visual presentation. [3]
Your photography should reflect the care, skill and quality behind your business.
That means showing:
Customers increasingly choose businesses that feel genuine.
Research has found that 71% of consumers trust brands more when they use authentic, real photography. [4]
Your customers don't expect perfection.
They expect confidence that the experience they've imagined will match the one they receive.
That's why we photograph your business honestly, creating images that reflect the quality you've worked so hard to deliver.
Your customers rarely see just one image before making a decision.
They'll often discover you through your website, Google Business Profile, social media, menus, brochures or advertising.
Every one of those touchpoints should reinforce the same message.
Research suggests that 68% of consumers say consistent branding makes businesses easier to recognise and remember. [5]
That's why we think beyond individual photographs.
We think about how every image works together to strengthen your brand.
Every business has different objectives.
You might want to:
Those goals shape every project we undertake.
Julia's marketing background helps us understand the audience you're trying to reach and the impression you want to create.
Adam's project management experience keeps every shoot organised, efficient and focused on delivering the images your business actually needs.
Only then do we start planning the lighting, styling and photography.
Beautiful photographs are only valuable if they help your business achieve something.
Perhaps that's encouraging someone to stop scrolling.
Perhaps it's creating confidence that your food is worth the price.
Perhaps it's helping a customer choose you instead of another venue nearby.
Every decision we make during a shoot is guided by those objectives.
Our photography supports the outcomes your business cares about.
Our job is to help more customers choose your business.
Everything we do, from the first conversation through to the final edited images, is guided by that objective.
Because the best food photography helps people recognise quality, builds confidence in your business and gives them another reason to choose you.
