“Every food item in our shot list is prepped with delicacy and styled from hand picked plates, props and linens to give it a custom look”
Preparation, Plates + Props
TMC is known for beautiful, colorful and vintage plates. Many of you have seen the breathtaking spreads at their Catered Events. Our Wellness Team is lucky to have them available for our own Meal Delivery photoshoots. We plan food-styling ahead of time by selecting the right colors, props and fresh ingredients is crucial for a successful photoshoot. We get creative with our cutlery, styled napkins and our in-house backdrops to bring a certain aesthetic. We believe that the presentation extends beyond the plate, encompassing the entire scene.That's why we hand-pick the plates and props for each shot, understanding that the right combination can elevate the visual narrative. Furthermore, we select linens that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the shot. Lastly, fresh flowers are picked up that morning and arranged, it truly is a magical process.
Food Styling + The Perfect Shot
Our Kitchen Team is a HUGE part of this process, they prep, cook, plate and garnish each dish to perfection. The plating process is where their creativity takes center stage. With an eye for aesthetics and an innate understanding of food presentation, our kitchen team transforms plates into works of art. Each dish is meticulously arranged, ensuring that colors, shapes, and textures harmonize, enticing not only the taste buds but also the senses as a whole. And let's not forget the finishing touch – garnishing. Our kitchen team pays meticulous attention to this final step.
Every single element in our food shots is carefully thought out and purposefully selected to give each image a custom look that reflects the essence of the dish. We understand that the visual appeal of food can be as captivating as its taste, and we strive to create images that exude creativity, beauty, and a desire to indulge.
