Photography

Food and business photography shot at your site, every month.

People judge a restaurant, a café or a showroom by its photos before they walk in. Sobi Social is a photography and content agency for brick-and-mortar brands. Photography comes out of the monthly directed shoot day at your site, so every image shows your real dishes, rooms and people.

What we photograph

We shoot what a customer is deciding on. For a restaurant that is the plate. For a dealership it is the car on the forecourt.

  • Dishes and drinks, plated and in context.
  • Rooms, counters and forecourts as customers find them.
  • Your team, at work.
  • Forecourt stock and new arrivals for dealerships.

One shoot day, a month of images

We direct the day, so you do not have to think about shots. The team works around your service rather than through it. The same visit also produces vertical video and story assets, so photography and video come from one day.

For Mithras that starts with signature dishes. For Coco & Nut it is pours and pastries. For Motorland in Beckenham it is forecourt stock.

Dishes are photographed the way a customer meets them: on the table, in the light of the room, with the surroundings in view. Rooms are shot when they are busy and when they are quiet, because both help someone decide. Your team is part of the picture too. People like to see who will greet them before they arrive.

Where the photos get used

A photo that sits in a folder does nothing. Every image from the shoot is planned against the month's content calendar.

  • Your Instagram feed and stories.
  • Menus and menu pages.
  • Your Google Business Profile, where customers often look first.
  • Your website.
  • Paid campaigns, aimed at bookings and enquiries.

Our studio is in Shoreditch, but the shoot happens at your business. We travel across London, including Croydon, and in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. Start with the free Sobi Snapshot, a twenty-minute brand audit that shows how your photos compare with what customers expect.

Questions05

Questions about Photography.

Do you photograph at our premises?

Yes. The monthly shoot day happens at your business, so the images show your real room, menu and people.

What do you need from us on the day?

Access to your site, and a little of your time. We direct the day, so you do not have to think about shots.

Can I book a photographer for a single day?

We work as an ongoing partnership, not per project. Fresh photography every month does more for a local business than a one-off set. One monthly fee, quoted after the Blueprint.

How is photography priced?

There are no packages and no per-asset invoices. Photography is scoped as part of the partnership, inside one monthly fee.
