FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
Food photographer in Lyon: photos true to the plate
Before booking a table or ordering a meal, people often look at the photos: on Google, on a website, on a delivery app. A phone snapshot under fluorescent light makes a sauce look dull and meat look grey. As a food photographer in Lyon, Pixel Production photographs your dishes, your products and your kitchen so the image makes people want a taste.
A good food photo comes down to a few things, all carefully controlled: light that brings out textures, an angle chosen for each plate, accurate colours and a dish photographed the moment it leaves the kitchen. We work for restaurants, caterers, pastry chefs, artisan producers and food brands.
A product isolated on a white background is covered on our product photographer in Lyon page; your dining room, terrace and venue atmosphere by our commercial photography in Lyon. The team works from Lyon and Bourgoin-Jallieu and travels throughout the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
What professional food photos do for you
Chosen before the visit
On your Google Business Profile or website, well-photographed dishes tip the decision in your favour.
A menu that is easier to read
A photo next to the name of the dish helps your customers choose, including those who don’t read French.
No disappointment at the table
The dish in the photo looks like the dish served: the image promises what the plate delivers.
More online orders
On delivery apps, a sharp, appetising photo catches the eye among the other menus.

A single session provides enough to post regularly on your social media, dish after dish.

FAQ
Food photographer in Lyon: your questions
Have a question that isn’t listed? Ask it when you request a quote.
How much does a food photographer cost?
The budget is set by quote. It varies with the number of dishes or products, the length of the session, the location, the level of retouching, the intended uses of the photos and travel.
Do dishes need to be specially prepared for the shoot?
Yes, just as for a customer, but at the pace of the shoot. We agree the running order together: each plate is dressed just as it comes before the lens, then photographed while it is still hot.
Where does the food photo shoot take place?
On location, in your restaurant, kitchen, production kitchen or shop, in Lyon or elsewhere in the region. We choose the best-lit spot and add light if necessary.
Are the photos suitable for delivery platforms and Google?
Yes. Tell us in the brief which platforms and media you plan to use: framing and formats are prepared for each, from square for apps to high resolution for print.
Can you also photograph the dining room and the team?
Yes. Your dining room, terrace and venue atmosphere fall under our commercial photography; portraits of your team, under corporate photography. These images can be planned for the same day as your dishes.
Food photography or packshot: what is the difference?
A packshot isolates the product on a plain background, with the same lighting from one image to the next. Food photography shows the dish or product in context: a table, ingredients, a gesture, to make people want a taste.
