Did you know that people see an average of 3,000 ads daily? With hundreds of businesses competing for everyone’s attention everyday, how can you make your target customers notice you? It’s easy. Give them images they will never forget.
 
If you’re in the food industry, the surefire way to achieve this is to work with the right food photographer in Manila, Philippines.  
 
Here’s how you can find the right team to work with:

​1. Research

The first option isn’t always the right choice. Take time to shop around. Search online, check
​out websites, and look into various portfolios.

 
2. Create a Short List

Once you have enough options to work on, it’s time to make a short list. Write down the things
​you want in a photography team and work with that criteria when short-listing service providers.

 
3. Inquire

After creating a short list, set aside a time to contact the photographers. Whether it’s through
email or phone, make sure to give them an idea of what you want to happen in your photos.

 
Ask questions. The more you get the conversation going, the easier you’ll know if you can work
​with a photographer or not. It’s hard to work with someone you’re not comfortable talking with.      

 
4. Look for a Food Stylist

Food photography in Manila, Philippines and across the globe is a collaborative effort. Stylists make sure that the food remains beautifully intact despite being exposed to harsh lights for
​hours.  

 
The best food photographers will be able to recommend food stylists so won’t have to go
​through the trouble of finding one yourself.

 
5. Be Involved

For a memorable and successful project, plan the shots with your creative team before actually starting the shoot. This way, you can make the most of your time and avoid disruptions during
the shoot.   

 
The smartest investment any cookbook publisher or restaurateur can ever make is their food photography. As they say, “food goes in through the eyes first.”
 
A well thought-out picture with the right composition, lighting, and angle can elicit better
responses than a quick photo taken with your high-end phone or camera. Using stock
​photography won’t work either, as it will make your menu or cookbook look generic and easily forgettable.
