Tabletop photography: product, food and drinks

Tabletop is the generic name for product, food and drink imagery built on a table under full control: light, reflections, texture, droplets, steam. I have done this for 35 years on TV commercials, and now I bring the same precision to still photography for brands, restaurants and online shops. Click any image to view full size.

Product and restaurant photography with the rigour of a TV commercial

For restaurants and cafés

Photographs for menus, websites, social media and delivery platforms: dishes that look fresh, appetising and consistent in style.

For brands and online shops

Food products, drinks and objects, on clean backgrounds or in context, for packaging, e-commerce and campaigns.

From still images to tabletop films

If you also need motion — high-speed, slow-motion, liquids, droplets — see the Tabletop page, with commercials shot for Pizza Hut, KFC, Bergenbier, Olympus, Müller, Al Marai and others. Tell me what you need photographed and where the images will be used, and we will shape the style together.
