Book Club Restaurant

Restaurant food product photography shoot for the online third party vendor take out menu for Book Club restaurant located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I spent the afternoon photographing dinner entrees for the restaurants new online takeout menu and for a third party apps like Doordash, GRubhub, and Uber Eats. There were various dishes such as cheeseburgers with french fries, fresh summer salads, a mussels dish, and their special savory butternut squash mac n cheese toasted with breadcrumbs on top. Yum!

The setup for this shoot was simple on one of the restaurants dining room tables next to a large window for natural light. I did bring some battery remote strobe lights for background fill if needed but it wasn’t necessary because the mid-day day light was enough. I was also lucky to have a cloudy day to filter out the harsh afternoon sunlight. I think I did use a large white reflector to fill in the shadows on the opposite side of where the light was falling. That’s it! It was a delicious afternoon of some simple lifestyle product images for the e-commerce side of their business.
