Food Photography – Crostinies in Dorking

If there’s one thing I like to do it’s help people.  I translate that into my photography by helping local businesses get really nice photos of their products, staff, etc.  And such is the case with Crostinies Pizza and Take-Away in Dorking.  I have worked with Crostinies a couple of times and every time is great.  They have really good people working there that always make me feel welcome.

On this occasion I was photographing their line of pizzas for their website, menu, etc.  The idea was to highlight the food itself, but also to ensure that the food didn’t look like something it wasn’t.  We didn’t want it to look like a gourmet restaurant, because it’s not.  It’s just a good, local take-away restaurant and it was important that we didn’t make it look too fancy.  I think we did just that.  Taking several of their pizzas and photographing them on a wooden surface with some wax paper made the images look really authentic.

Thanks to everyone at Crostinies for your help and patience!
