In a world where everyone eats with their eyes first, compelling food photography isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Maven Photo + Film, we specialize in commercial food photography and drink shoots that bring your menu to life, drive engagement, and make people hungry for more.
Whether you’re launching a new restaurant, promoting seasonal specials, or building a brand around your products, our team knows how to style, shoot, and showcase your food and beverages with cinematic polish and mouthwatering appeal.
Why Food Photography Matters for Your Brand
The average diner scrolls through hundreds of images a day—what makes them stop and pay attention?
Lighting. Texture. Color. Emotion. And above all, craveability.
Our food and drink shoots are designed to do more than just document dishes—we create content that tells a story. One that says: “You need to try this.”
With decades of combined experience behind the camera (and in front of the plate), the Maven team understands how to shoot for platforms like Instagram, DoorDash, websites, print menus, ads, and billboards—so you get versatile, high-performance content from a single shoot.

What Makes Maven Different?
It’s not just about the gear (though we have plenty of that). It’s about the eye, the experience, and the intention behind every shot.
We approach food photography as brand storytelling. We ask the right questions: Who’s your audience? What’s your vibe? Where will these images be used? Then we execute a shoot that’s as strategic as it is stunning.
Plus, with our in-house video team, we can seamlessly add short-form video, Reels, or ad content to the same session, giving you more bang for your bite.
