§ 08 — Errata & FAQ

Common questions.

01 Do I keep the rights?

Yes. Full commercial usage rights, in perpetuity, royalty-free. Use them on your website, menus, IG, billboards, anywhere. They're your photos.

02 How long does a shoot take?

Most café and restaurant menus are covered in a single 4-hour session. Larger menus or multi-location concepts take a full day. We move efficiently and stay out of your kitchen's way during service.

03 Do you bring lights and equipment?

Yes. We bring everything — cameras, lenses, modifiers, reflectors, surfaces. We default to natural light when your space allows; we add subtle continuous lighting only when needed.

04 How much does it cost?

Half-day shoots start around $850. Full days from $1,400. Multi-location and ongoing content packages are quoted per scope. Get a quote on the contact page.

05 Can I use the photos on third-party platforms?

Absolutely — DoorDash, Uber Eats, Yelp, Google Business Profile, OpenTable. Full rights means full rights.
