London Food Photographer – Professional Shoots for Restaurants & Brands

Looking for a London food photographer who understands the pace of hospitality and delivers images that actually work for your business? You’re in the right place.

I’m Slava Tatenko, a London-based food photographer shooting for restaurants, bars, cafés, and food brands across the city. My work spans Central London and beyond—Soho, Shoreditch, Hackney, Hammersmith, Borough, and everywhere in between.

What I Shoot in London

My focus is capturing the full hospitality experience—not just plate shots, but the people, the atmosphere, and the detail that makes your venue unique.

• Seasonal & Tasting Menus: High-end imagery for your menu launches.
• Cocktails & Coffee: Capturing the texture of cocktails and the art of coffee.
• Bakery & Patisserie: Detail-rich shots of pastries and breads.
• Action Shots: Behind-the-pass action, bartender shaking cocktails, and kitchen prep.
• Interiors & Team: Bar setups, table settings, and team portraits for your website.

A single session can generate all the website imagery you need plus weeks of content for Instagram and TikTok. Whether you’re a neighbourhood café or a chain with multiple sites, the process scales to fit.

Recent London Projects

Our work covers the diverse culinary landscape of the capital:

• West End & Soho: New drinks menu launches with moody, low-light shots that match the underground vibe of city bars.
• Borough Market: Street food in action, behind-the-scenes prep, and the energy of a busy market morning.
• South London Bakeries: Early-morning shoots capturing pastries straight from the oven and the warm glow of opening time.

Why Choose a Specialist London Food Photographer?

Working with a photographer who understands the London restaurant scene makes a real difference to your results.

• Authentic Food Styling: I shoot the real dishes your kitchen sends out—no artificial tricks. The goal is vibrant food photography that looks delicious and honest.
• Experience in Challenging Spaces: Tight London basements, cramped open kitchens, and venues with tricky lighting are familiar territory.
• Neighbourhood Knowledge: There’s a difference between shooting an edgy Shoreditch cocktail bar and a classic Mayfair brasserie. I adapt the style to match your venue’s vibe.
