Your Questions for a Melbourne Food Photographer

Here are the answers to a few common questions I receive. If there’s anything else you’d like to know about my work as a food photographer in Melbourne, please feel free to get in touch!

My passion lies in creating images that tell a story, whether it’s for a magazine editorial, a national ad campaign, or the beautiful packaging on a new product. I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with some incredible partners, from iconic venues like the Ritz Carlton and Lui Bar to beloved brands like Brown Brothers and McCain. Based in Melbourne, I shoot both from a fully-equipped studio and on location across Australia, always tailoring the approach to fit the story we’re telling.

The Process: From Vision to Final Images

A shoot with me is always a true collaboration. It starts with a deep dive into your vision, where we plan out the shot list, mood, and goals to ensure the shoot day is seamless and creative. If we need a food stylist or specific props to bring the concept to life, I have a wonderful network of talented people I work with right here in Melbourne and can coordinate everything for you.

After the shoot, the collaborative process continues. You’ll get to select your favourite images from a set of proofs. The selections are then edited, applying a natural, timeless finish to enhance the beauty of the food. Typically within 1-2 weeks, I’ll deliver the final high-resolution files to you through a secure online gallery, ready for both print and web.

Pricing and Image Usage

Because every food photography project is different, I create a custom quote for each client based on the scope of work. At the same time, we’ll tailor a usage license that gives you all the rights you need to tell your story effectively, whether it’s for social media, menus, or a national campaign. To make sure I have availability, I recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, but I can sometimes accommodate more urgent projects, so it’s always worth asking!
