Recent Project: Buns n Bones

Buns n Bones is a fast food Restaurant based in Aldershot, selling items such as burgers, wraps, wings, loaded fries and many more. They offer deals for specific items such as meals and their ‘Munch Box’.

I recently worked with them to photograph their full menu for food delivery apps such as Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo. These apps require two types of images, single items and bundle shots. What you’re seeing above are multiple single items photographed by me. These images should be simple, but effective, photographs of your individual items, showing the whole item in the frame with central composition. There should be no other distractions, such as hands, ingredients which aren’t included in the actual dish, etc. I chose to use a clear and complimentary colour as the background which highlights the dish. All images should be landscape with an aspect ratio of 3:2 and at least 1200 x 800 pixels. there needs to be enough space to allow for cropping to a 1:1 ratio.

Bundle images are specifically a banner shot for your restaurants page. This will be the first image your customers see, which is why it is such an important image. This shot should show a combination of dishes from your menu. The recommended amount is at least 5 different dishes to show the variety within your menu. For this shot, its good to fill the frame of the scene, leaving a small margin of space on each side of the photograph. This type of shot requires an aspect ratio of 16:9, and at least 1920 x 1080 pixels.
