Many people decide whether to eat at a restaurant before they even get there. They decide by looking at photos on their phones. If those photos are bad, dark, or old, they move on to the next restaurant on their list, even if the food is delicious.
That’s why restaurant photography exists. At Mas Presencia, we work with restaurants in Terrassa that want their photos to truly represent what they serve, without strange tricks or exaggerated filters.
Many restaurants take photos quickly with a mobile phone, at any given moment during service. And it shows. The plate is crooked, the lighting is yellow and harsh, and there are things in the background that shouldn’t be there.
It doesn’t have to be that way. With a little care, the same dish can look much better, without changing anything in the recipe.
Fotografiamos los platos, claro, pero no solo eso. También el ambiente del local, las mesas, la barra, la cocina si el equipo quiere mostrarla, y a las personas que trabajan allí, si se sienten cómodas delante de la cámara.
A veces un restaurante solo necesita fotos nuevas para Google, porque las que tiene son de hace años. Otras veces quieren fotos para Instagram, para la carta, o para todo junto. Nosotros lo adaptamos según lo que pidas.
Terrassa fue una ciudad textil muy importante, y todavía se nota en sus edificios. El museo mNACTEC, por ejemplo, está dentro de una antigua fábrica modernista. Y la Seu d’Ègara guarda iglesias muy antiguas, de hace más de mil años.
Muchos restaurantes de la ciudad están en edificios con ese mismo aire antiguo, y eso da mucho juego para las fotos. Una pared de piedra vieja, una ventana grande, una luz que entra de lado: todo eso ayuda a que las fotos del restaurante cuenten algo, no solo muestren un plato sobre una mesa.
Lighting is what makes the biggest difference in a food photo . A photo with harsh, direct light makes the dish look flat and lifeless. A photo with soft, angled light brings out the texture, the steam, and the true color of the food.
We know a restaurant can’t close just to take photos. That’s why we usually work during quiet hours, before opening or between lunch and dinner service.
We arrived with everything prepared beforehand, so we wouldn’t waste time setting things up there. The less we disturb the kitchen and wait staff, the better for everyone.
Once the photos are taken, we review them and choose the best ones. We then format them so they look good on both mobile phones and computers, since most people will be viewing them on Google or Instagram.
We deliver the files ready to upload, without you having to do anything else, just choose where to put them.
No. We always look for a time that doesn't affect normal service.
It depends on the time we have, but usually several dishes, the venue, and some of the equipment can be photographed in a single session.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, small businesses are the ones that notice the biggest difference when they change their photos.
Yes, the photos are yours and you can use them wherever you want.
If your restaurant in Terrassa is still using old or hastily taken photos, let's talk. We can help you showcase your food as it truly is: well-prepared and made with care.
