Food, portraits and interiors at The Hinds Head
Food, portraits and interiors at The Hinds Head
We photographed food, chef portraits, interiors and lifestyle material at The Hinds Head in Bray through Beyond. The commission brought the restaurant’s dishes, people and setting into one collection.
Explore the photographs above. Food, portraits and interiors each need a different kind of attention. Together, they give the restaurant a wider set of photographs than a food-only shoot.
More than food photographs
A dish can be the focus of a photograph, but it does not tell the whole restaurant story. Portraits introduce the people behind the food, while interiors show the setting in which it is served.
For a commission covering several subjects, the brief needs to identify the role of each. Some photographs may be intended for a menu or product feature, while others introduce the team or the wider experience.
Planning the variety
For a similar restaurant shoot, list the dishes, people and spaces that need to be included. Work out when each will be available and how photography will fit around preparation and service.
It helps to agree who can organise food presentation and who can bring the relevant people into the schedule. Portraits and room photographs need their own attention, rather than being left to any time remaining after the food is finished.
A set for different uses
A varied collection can support different layouts, but those uses should be identified early. Tell us if you need wide website images, individual portraits or closer food photographs for particular placements.
If a publication or agency has specific requirements, share them with the brief so they can be considered during the shoot.
