Food photography & videography
Capturing food through still and moving images is about more than just showing off the dish or drink, it’s about capturing the intended vibe. Done right, it elevates a recipe, advert or article to something truly special – and doing things right is what we specialise in.
Food stylists & home economists
Whether you want a food with the creative flair to take it to the next level or a home economist to deal with the complex job of running a food and drink shoot, Style Department has got you covered. We work with the best in the business, so you can get on with running your business.
Recipe writing & development
Searching for your signature dish? Want to refresh an existing slate of recipes? Our food experts work from idea to execution, delivering a finished product that will get you talked about in all the right places.
Prop & set stylists
Props and sets are the unsung heroes of food and drink photography, and we work with a talented collection of designers who specialise in this particular alchemy. Our creative stylists know how to source the right props and backgrounds to make the star of the show – your food – shine its brightest.
Production & crew booking
Our roster of experienced professionals extends far beyond just food stylists, covering planning, pre-production, shooting, post-production and producing photo and video content for social media, promotions, commercial and publishing. What’s that saying about teamwork making the dream work?
Location scouting
Style Department’s location scouting services will bring your vision to life. Just provide us with your concept, script or storyboard, and we’ll find just the right place to put you on the map – whether in London or beyond.
Insurance
Hey, it’s not sexy, but it’s necessary. Let us arrange the right cover for your project, covering every unforeseen event including Errors and Omissions cover, in case you inadvertently feature someone’s intellectual property in your production.
Budget management
Proper budget management is more important than ever, and can be a complex matter when there are rate negotiations, estimates and advances to consider. We can take on all of that, so you can stay on budget and on schedule.
Casting
While food and drink styling is our bread and (salted) butter, sometimes you need that human touch. We have the contacts and experience to cast the right person or hand model for your aesthetic.
Reconciliation & invoicing
When your project is complete, there’s just the reconciling and the invoicing to do. We can deal with this final step, collating all invoices and receipts, reconciling transactions and providing the final documentation that allows you that all-important sigh of relief.
Travel & accommodation
Our full-service offering means you can delegate responsibility for arranging the travel and accommodation logistics for your entire team. We have a little black book packed with options for every budget, so you can take one more thing off your To Do list.
Catering
No one knows the importance of good food on a shoot like Style Department. You’ll see no curling sandwiches on our watch, we’ll keep your team well fed and watered so they can excel at what they do best.
