Food photography in Long Beach
Long Beach sits between my Orange County base and Los Angeles, so it is normal territory with no travel fee. I shoot on location in Belmont Shore, Downtown and the East Village Arts District, Retro Row on 4th Street, Bixby Knolls, Naples, Alamitos Bay and the brewery scene along the 710 corridor, with a mobile lighting setup that works around live service. Menu shots, delivery-app images, cocktails and beer, chef portraits and vertical reels come from the same visit.
What I shoot in Long Beach
Restaurant and menu photography, delivery-app photos for DoorDash and Uber Eats, lifestyle and dining-room photography, chef and owner portraits, cocktails and beverages, pastry and dessert, product and packaging, and restaurant video and reels.

Long Beach food photography questions
How much does a food photographer cost in Long Beach?
My flat rates start at $495 and are the same in Long Beach as everywhere else I shoot in Southern California, with no travel fee. Every rate includes unlimited images with full commercial use, delivered within three business days. Half-day and full-day rates cover a whole menu; hourly is available for smaller jobs. See food photography pricing.
Do you come to my restaurant in Long Beach?
Yes. I shoot on location at your restaurant, bar, bakery or kitchen with a full mobile lighting setup, so there is nothing to move and no studio to book. Shooting in your space is included in every rate and means the photos show your real plates, surfaces and dining room.
Which areas of Long Beach do you cover?
Belmont Shore, Naples, Downtown and the East Village Arts District, Retro Row on 4th Street, Bixby Knolls, Alamitos Bay, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Seal Beach and neighboring San Pedro and Huntington Beach. All at the same rate with no travel fee.
Do we have to close the restaurant for the shoot?
No. Most Long Beach shoots happen between lunch and dinner service or on a slow morning, working from a corner table or the bar with a compact lighting footprint. If you would rather shoot when the room is empty, that works too.
Can I use the images on DoorDash, Uber Eats and my website?
Yes. Every image includes full commercial use with no licensing tiers, so the same set works on DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, your website, printed menus, Google Business Profile and social media. I shoot delivery-app framing on the same visit. See menu photography.
Do you shoot restaurant video and reels in Long Beach?
Yes. Restaurant video and vertical reels for Instagram and TikTok are shot across Long Beach and the rest of Los Angeles County, usually on the same day as photography for one discounted rate. See restaurant video production.
