A guest post by Splento, Professional London-based Photographers.
Discover how mouth-watering your food can look with Splento!
Food is obviously something that should be eaten rather than just being looked at. But when it comes to food photography, our appetite begins at the mouth. Appearance is everything! Food photography is all about that mouth-watering photo which you can almost taste and smell. The aim here is pretty straightforward – to make food look even more delicious.
When you go online and search through various hashtags like #foodlover or #foodie, you can be overwhelmed by the amount of food content related photos and videos you will see there. Where do you start? People seem to be obsessed with dishes like colourful creamy desserts, cakes of various shapes and sizes, gourmet pizzas, healthy avocado meals and countless other culinary delights.
However, it might get a bit more complicated if you are actually involved in the food industry and you are trying to impress potential customers. For example, in any restaurant business, food photography is something you should pay very close attention to. Attractive food menus and eye-catching advertising are strongly advisable since they pave the way for successful marketing campaigns. It might be also very helpful to let your customers know of the most popular delicacies you make by sharing them on all of your social media channels. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that more is better, because when it comes to food photography – quality trumps quantity. Furthermore, to get the most out of your menu and get the biggest bang for your marketing buck, you could hire food photography specialists.
That’s where Splento can come in handy. This London-based company offers an affordable high quality service: professional photographers are ready to take beautiful food photos at a low cost of just £49 per hour, considerably lower than many other food photography offerings in London.
The beauty of Splento, in addition to the high quality photos, is the easy and hassle-free booking system: you can book a professional food photographer by phone, computer or your mobile and organise even a last minute photo-shoot. Even better, photos for your menus, website and marketing materials will be edited and sent to you within 48 hours.
When it comes to food blogging photography plays a crucial role as followers are mainly here to have a look at what you write about. Visual content is an inseparable part this process. Be it recipes or restaurant reviews, it is always a good idea to add quality photographs to the content you provide.
Our professional photographers are highly experienced and use specialist techniques in order to make photos of your food look even tastier! Book Splento photographers on demand now, and we will show you how attractive your next dish can be.

Thank you for supporting the brands who make it possible for me to do what I love – mess up my kitchen and share recipe stories (and today, go into town and pay my car garage bill after the car broke down, again, last week!).

What a fabulous service! I agree that the pleasure taken in food starts with the look. If it looks terrible it can put you off before you even take a mouthful
MELANIE EDJOURIAN
These pictures look absolutely amazing and so does the food .
Newcastle Family Life

Annie B
I love attempting to take photos of food, but it would be great to have the option to get a professional photographer.
Lubka Henry
The quality of food pictures are vital for any business selling yummy goodness.
Shame that the website only operates in London, because I wanted to point my customers to a good photographer, but they are not in London.
Kira C
This is so great, I struggle taking photos of food because I see such amazing photos but I can’t quite get mine looking the same! These photos look so amazing!
Candice Nikeia
I am always in awe of food photographers because they must have so much self control to not eat the dish too early before getting the perfect photo!
Lynn Fancy
I’m currently buying lighting equipment for my son as he is reviewing a great deal of things. Photography is so important now, more than ever and if I had a business |I would absolutely pay for a professional to bring my dishes to life!
Hannah
These photos are incredible! I love food photography x
Jessica McDonnell
Those photos look amazing. I bet there’s so much that goes into professional food photography and a lot of people will just assume it’s like Instagraming food when it isn’t.
Rachel
They are exceptional photos. My cousins husband is a food photographer and it is such an amazing skill to have x
Rebecca Smith

The pictures are fab – I always think it pays for restaurants to get a professional in as amateur photos just don’t cut it!

Those pictures are amazing, I am salivating as I type. I agree good food photography is worth the investment. Thanks for the contact details.
Angela Milnes
Splento sound fab. I think they are a good resource to have. Thats for sure.
Anosa
I am in need of a photographer though not for food but to take fashion pictures. I am impressed that it’s less than £50 to book these professional photographs
Etienne
That’s cool. They standardize basic photography. Now a lot of brands trust the name of a photographer too as the gage of art. I guess that’s perfect for the people who just want something looking decent! 🙂
They are other booking sites like gokyma.com that will propose photographer but this time they set their prices on their own terms.
Vicky
I wish I could take food photos as good as these. I photograph my own recipes and always hope that the photos are good enough. The photo design is what I need to work on most.
Lauretta Wright
Wow – I wish the photos I took looked like this. Even the tableware and cutlery looks stunning!
Jordanne | Thelifeofaglasgowgirl
Such a great idea! I would never have thought about professional food photographers before but I suppose it makes so much sense!
