Images That Tell Your Food’s Story
Great food photography should do more than show a dish — it should make you feel something. It might be the curl of steam, the shine of a sauce, or the pop of a fresh ingredient. Those little details are what bring a story to life and make people hungry.
I started out in fine art, and that background shapes everything I do. For more than 15 years, I’ve worked with restaurants, wineries and food brands across Melbourne. My goal is always the same: to create images that feel beautiful, honest and purposeful — pictures that support your brand and connect with your audience.
I love the collaborative side of this work. Some days I’m helping style a cookbook. Other days I’m shooting a new product campaign or capturing the atmosphere of a restaurant. I’ve been lucky to work with amazing clients like Lui Bar, Ritz Carlton Melbourne and Brown Brothers Wines, and every project brings its own flavour.
About Hannah Caldwell — Food Photographer Melbourne
I’m a Melbourne-based food photographer with a background in fine art and a love for capturing the beauty in food’s smallest details. For me, food photography is about more than creating something that looks good—it’s about evoking a feeling.
Whether I’m photographing a chef’s signature dish, a new product, or a quiet moment in the kitchen, I aim to create images that feel natural, considered, and full of life. My work blends an artistic eye with commercial purpose, helping brands, restaurants, and producers tell their stories with warmth and authenticity.
If you’re looking for food photography in Melbourne that captures both flavour and atmosphere, I’d love to work with you.
