My full-service food and beverage photography studio, including extensive prop inventory, bring clients everything they need for great imagery from the creative brief to the final image.

This includes culinary direction, art direction, food styling, set creation, props, surfaces, product styling, photography, stop motion animation, video, and post-production retouching. My studio is nimble with a personalized service that focuses on telling the story of your product or food, which is always the center of the story!

Here are just a few of the benefits my service brings to my clients:

    • Mood boarding and treatment for product branding, use, and lifestyle settings

    • Communicate remotely and collaboratively in real-time for clients who cannot be on set

    • In-house styling with props, custom surfaces, custom ice creation, set construction

    • Product and packaging prep

    • Medium-format Phase One cameras (2) for high-resolution images, high-speed network, Capture One 22, Canon Cinema Cameras, and more

    • Two indoor studios with Broncolor lights plus one diffused light outdoor studio

    • Dry storage, refrigerators, and freezers

    • Professionally equipped kitchen

    • Fresh ingredients: garden plus Bay area stores and farms supply a wealth of ingredients all year

    • Local crew available to expand any project

I have collected props globally from artisan wood craftsmen, antique dealers, artists, paper stores, Italian tile importers, kitchen stores, and more! All of the surfaces are handmade and painted. I can develop recipes and style food to tell branded stories for the camera. My clients love this lean and highly creative process. Turnaround time is always fast.

Clients can ship products from anywhere. It is easy to get your products to me and we prepare everything for the camera for a great shoot. Contact me if you need images or videos. I would love to help! You can call or text 415-935-3591 or email judy@judydohertyphotography.com!
