    Boston Tea Party – Food Photography

    Boston Tea Party are refreshing their menu for the summer, and we had a lot of tasty dishes to photograph. With BTP producing ethical, honest food, we also like to keep the food manipulation down to a minimum, leaving it to the chef to produce food that’s exactly the same as what’s actually served to customers (everything had been weighed to ensure a precise portion size). We also avoid any food photography ‘tricks’, like PVC glue for milk, or painting roast chicken with brown dye to give it that crispy look (honestly).

    The photography below is of real edible food produced by a BTP chef in a standard kitchen, our job was to make sure it was shown as accurately and in as good light as possible. We think they’ve done a fantastic job with their new menu, and shall be paying a visit to a café soon to try a dish or two out.

    The later part of the day we also photographed the front of two BTP Cafes and some other marketing materials too.

    Last month we were back with Boston Tea Party in Plymouth to photograph their new menu. Working in their large, newly opened and beautiful Plymouth cafe, we selected a corner to work from that wouldn’t interfere with their customers and got to work, with their chef bringing new dishes up for us to photograph in situ. Making the most of our corner, we used the blue seating and warm brown table to add to each photograph. Leaving large areas for the marketing team to add text too.

    Previous photography by us is now being used throughout the cafes countrywide, the results are great and we’re looking forward to working with them again soon.

    Having covered a few of BTP’s other cafés previously, I was asked to head up to Birmingham to shoot food photograph for their new dishes. I also headed over to another of their cafés nearby to shoot a few location photos there too. You can see some of my work on their homepage (as of April 2015) with more populating their brochures and marketing in general.

    Boston Tea Party asked that we photograph some of their drinks and take a few shots of their café in Cheltenham.

    The photography took place at their Cheltenham café whilst it was open and serving customers. I used a few seats in the corner of the café to set up and control our lighting balanced with the large side windows of natural light.

    Here’s a few from the shoot.

    Café Photography for Boston Tea Party in Bristol

    Boston Tea Party is a cool, personal and cosy café environment with each of their cafés having a unique style and feeling that has been lovingly crafted by the owners. I documented two of their Cafés in Bristol, capturing the staff, customers and ambience of the locations in the same day. In addition to the documentary approach, some natural food photography was also on the cards.

    The slideshow has some example photography from the day.
