Singapore Food Photographer: Becoming The Difference Maker

By Rudolph Liehr


Are you a cookbook author or restaurant owner who does business in Singapore? If yes, then you should have a Singapore food photographer on your regular payroll, if you do not have one yet. The services of a food photographer are indispensable in your business. They play a big role in the successful promotion of your cookbook or restaurant.

Naturally, you may think that you have no need for a Singapore food photographer. Maybe you have budget constraints or you simply think that, with a camera and decent photography software, you can capture your own photographs. Anyone can take a snapshot, right?

If you view the profession of the Singapore food photographer with that much disdain, then you are certainly missing out on the benefits of employing one. Food is meant to be a sensual experience. The portrait of a particular food should be able to engage the viewer's senses long before they could taste the food. The picture should bring out the hunger in its viewer. This is something a good food photographer thoroughly understands and can easily execute in their pictures.

Hiring a Singapore food photographer is just a matter of creating a balance between the kind of pictures you want and how much you can spend on these pictures. You can gain some instant renown if the pictures you will use for your cookbook or restaurant PR are done by a well-known and respected food photographer. To hire them, all you need to do is to approach their agents or contact their studios. Celebrity photographers come with celebrity rates, however, so you have to have a big budget for your photographs if you are to work with such renowned artists.

It is only sensible to use an unknown Singapore food photographer if you have a limited budget as long as the photographer has the skill you want. You can locate many such photographers by doing a simple online search. You can start your search on photo-sharing websites such as Flickr or Instagram. You can also look at freelance photography sites and sites that sell stock photographs. Additionally, you should make inquiries among your friends or relatives if they know a good photographer.

It is very important that you take exceptional care in hiring a Singapore food photographer for your project. It does not matter if the time and the budget you have allotted for your project is limited or extensive. You simply do not want to work with a photographer who does not have an iota of professionalism in them. So, when you hire a food photographer, make them present to you their portfolio and references. Also, ask them questions about their previous experience and the attitude they take towards their work. A written and duly signed contract specifying the work that needs to be done is handy too.

It is highly important that you engage only the services of a good food photographer when you come up with the food portraits you need for your cookbook or restaurant. The photos that come with your publications play a huge role in the success of your cookbook or menu or any promotional material used by your restaurant or book. It can be expensive to hire a good Singapore food photographer, but you should never settle for anything but the best that you can get.
