Food Photography & Video for Restaurants
Create The Image Productions - A Strategy-First Visual Marketing Partner, creating marketing content which leaves a Lasting Impression, Builds Trust & Engages with your Ideal Audience.
Based in Bromley, working with businesses across London and throughout the UK.
Make Your Food Look as Good Online as It Tastes in Person
Strategy-led food photography and restaurant video content designed to attract attention, increase desire and turn online interest into bookings and orders.
Your customers cannot taste your food through a screen.
Your photography and video have to make them want to.
At Create The Image Productions, we help restaurants, cafés and hospitality brands create high-quality visual marketing content that showcases the food, captures the atmosphere and introduces the people responsible for the experience.
Every shoot starts by understanding your restaurant, audience and commercial priorities so that the finished content has a clear role within your marketing.
Photography sells the dish. Video sells the experience. Together, they turn appetite into action.
Is Your Current Marketing Underselling Your Food?
Before making a booking or placing an order, customers may look at your:
Website
Google Business Profile
Instagram or Facebook page
Online menu
Delivery-platform listing
Reviews and customer photographs
If those visuals are poorly lit, outdated or inconsistent, customers may form the wrong impression about the quality of your food before they ever experience it.
Professional food photography helps customers see the colour, texture, freshness and presentation of each dish.
Restaurant video takes them further, showing the preparation, atmosphere, service and personalities that make your business worth visiting.
When customers can clearly see what they are considering, it becomes easier for them to imagine ordering it.
Better Visuals Can Support Better Results
Research involving more than 15,000 local small-business merchants found that menus featuring photographs of individual dishes generated up to 44% more monthly sales.
Restaurant data has also found:
Menus with a header image achieved up to 50% more monthly sales
Adding photographs to at least half of a menu could increase sales by 13%
Video plays a different but equally important role.
2026 consumer research found:
85% had been convinced to buy a product or service after watching a video
89% said video quality affects their trust in a brand
84% wanted to see more video content from brands
63% preferred short video when learning about a product or service
Individual results will vary and some of the photography data comes specifically from restaurants using delivery platforms. However, the message is clear: the quality of what customers see online can influence what they trust, consider and buy.

Recruitment and team content
From a sauce being poured to the first slice being served, movement can transform a dish from something customers simply see into something they can almost experience.
More Than a Photoshoot: Your Restaurant Content Library
One shoot should create more than one social media post.
Rather than reacting every time the restaurant needs something to publish, we can plan your shoot around the weeks and months ahead.
A strategy-led content day can produce a tailored library of photographs and video clips for:
Regular social media posts
Instagram Reels and Stories
Website updates
Google Business Profile content
Email marketing
Menu launches
Paid advertising
Seasonal promotions
Delivery platforms
PR opportunities
Recruitment
Private-event marketing
You leave with a useful collection of visual assets that helps your team market the restaurant more consistently and with less last-minute pressure.
