Restaurant & Food Portfolio

At BrianTripPhoto, I showcase dishes the way guests experience them … warm, inviting, and impossible to scroll past.

I partner with marketing agencies, restaurant groups, and chefs to create food and brand photography that lifts engagement, drives guest visits, and keeps visuals consistent across web, social, delivery apps, and ads.

Note on focus: While restaurants aren’t my core market (I primarily serve attorneys and medical practices), I’m a reliable resource for agencies and hospitality teams who need on-brand photography for signature dishes, cocktails, interiors, and team imagery. All delivered fast, consistent, and ready for every placement.

What you can expect: purposeful shot lists, consistent lighting and color, horizontal + vertical crops, web-ready and print-ready files, and clean handoffs for your campaigns.
