FAQ · THE COMMON QUESTIONS

Answers, before you ask.

How much does restaurant food photography cost in NYC?
One-off content shoots come in three tiers, no retainer required: Basic Menu (from $735, 2-hour session, up to 25 images), Uberdash Essentials (from $1,350, 4-hour shoot, 30 images plus a short-form video), and Comprehensive Restaurant (from $2,650, 6-hour shoot, 35 images, customized styling and 4 videos). Add a food stylist for $800. Need ongoing content? The Works is a monthly retainer, $2,200–$2,700 depending on your brand's needs. Download the pricing guide above or book a call for exact numbers.
How much does product photography cost?
Product photography has its own pricing, separate from our food and restaurant packages, and it’s priced by final images, not day rates. The Starter is $735 for 8-10 finished images, The Line is $1,350 for 15-18, and The Production is custom from $1,835 for bigger shoots with add-ons like models, studio or location rental and prop sourcing. Massive catalogs are quoted per-image to your volume. Full specs are on our product photography pricing page.
What does a video production day cost?
Video is priced by the production day or by the finished deliverable. A content-volume day banks a month of social videos in one shoot; a single commercial spot is scoped on its own. Tell us the goal on our video production page and we'll quote it to scope.
How does licensing and usage pricing work?
Every shoot includes usage for the channels you name up front, website, organic social and menus are standard. Broader usage (paid ads, out-of-home, packaging, national campaigns) is licensed for a defined term and scope, priced transparently alongside the shoot, so you always know what you can run, where and for how long. More on our commercial photography page.
Do you shoot on location at my restaurant?
Yes. We bring the lighting and styling to you and shoot on location across NYC, New Jersey and Philadelphia, so your food is photographed fresh from your own kitchen, exactly as it's served.
How fast is turnaround?
Selects are typically delivered within 48 hours; the full retouched, platform-ready library follows in 7-10 business days. Need it faster? Rush 48-hour delivery is available for $75. Launch campaigns run on a timeline tied to your opening date.
Can you optimize my DoorDash, UberEats and Grubhub listings?
Yes, it's one of our highest-ROI services. We shoot to each platform's spec, rebuild your item imagery, and restructure the menu so your best-sellers surface first.
What areas do you serve?
Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Long Island, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Connecticut.
