Questions people ask
Overhead or angled shots?
Flat dishes like pizza, bowls and spreads read well overhead. Tall items like burgers, drinks and layered desserts usually look better from the side.
Can we get video too?
Short clips of pours, sizzles and cheese pulls are popular for social. Ask for them when you book so the kitchen can plan the timing.
