Discover the best food photography locations in Chicago
Food photography is as much about location as any other genre. The food is just a part of the overall picture you're sharing with viewers. By transmitting an experience and a promise, you're encouraging the target audience of your restaurant partners to come and have a taste of the whole venue.
Food photography should also feel emotive. Fries and wings from a sports bar will look colorful and even a bit explosive in how they are arranged. All the better to uplift your mood and get you eager for the bar experience. Meanwhile, noodles from a quiet Japanese rooftop restaurant will be subdued, with deep shadow and quiet colors. The experience being hinted at is a soft one, where you and a partner enjoy global cuisine and classical music. So how do we find a Chicago food photography location that matches the dishes we're trying to capture?
Find professional food photoshoot locations in Chicago
Food photoshoot spaces in Chicago should come with several ways to control incoming light. Photo studios set up for food photography may even include a selection of props like bowls or cutting boards, and a commercial kitchen where you can prepare and store each subject. Food stylists and assistant photographers are also part of some rental spaces, freeing up your attention to focus on getting the composition just right.
The Studio Chicago in the Near South Side district, offers one of the best spaces for food photographers that enjoy loads of natural light. The south and west-facing windows are 16 feet tall and can be further enhanced with accessory lighting. 4,800 square feet of shooting space and a full professional kitchen ensures your production will go off with few difficulties.
Unique places for food photography in Chicago
The most unique places for food photography in Chicago will always be inside of the restaurants that hire you. Whether you're photographing wings and beer at a lively sports bar or seafood pasta at an upscale rooftop venue, including a sense of the surroundings will make your images stand out.
When people look at food photography they want to see more than just the plate of tasty items. They should be able to get a sense of the venue as well; the atmosphere and total experience that's being promised. If the restaurant has a soft, natural light ambience, fine wine selection, antique wooden tables, and cut flowers on each table, then include those in the frame.
