Restaurant
From the plated hero dish to the candlelit two-top — twenty scenes that book a table tonight, not next Friday.
Eight pages of training, then 20 scenarios for restaurant.
Every guide opens with the universal photo training. Then we get specific — each scenario shows three different camera angles you can copy on set.

Pro Tricks
Fifteen production rules. Wipe the product. Bounce, don't add.
Six scenarios from inside the guide.
Each scenario has a title, a one-line description, and a styling tip. The PDF adds 3 phone-frame sketches showing each angle — eye-level, top-down, and a low hero shot.
The hero plate
The signature dish at full beauty. The single image that goes on every menu, every poster, every Reel cover.
Pasta twirl on fork
Strands of pasta lifted on a fork — rotate slowly during exposure.
Dessert with candle
A slice of cake or tart with a single candle. Universal celebration.
Two-top by the window
A couple at a candlelit table. The hospitality shot.
Cheese board
A wooden board of cheeses, fruits, jams, crackers. The Instagram trophy.
Empty restaurant before service
The dining room set, lights warm, no one yet. Anticipation.
