Why We Love Getting Way Too Close to Our Food

Let’s just say it. We’re obsessed with macro food photography. Like, zoomed-in-on-a-sliced-strawberry obsessed. Ever noticed how a crackling caramel shard looks like stained glass at 90mm? Or how the flaky layers of a croissant resemble buttery architecture? That’s the beauty of macro. It turns a simple dish into a full-blown spectacle.

Selling With Your Eyes First

So here’s the thing—people eat with their eyes. Before they even read the menu or ask for a recommendation, your photo has already started the sales pitch.

By shooting macro, we capture that crave factor. The molten drip of cheese. The sugar crystals catching light. The effervescent bubbles sparkling above a freshly poured soda. We make the details the star of the show—and suddenly, your guest’s scrolling thumb stops. Their brain says, I need that.

The images we create here at Fratelli Studio don’t just make food look good. They make it feel irresistible. In a world where attention spans are shorter than the lifespan of a garnish, we help your food make a mouthwatering first impression.

So next time you see one of our ridiculously close-up shots of a soft boiled egg, just know… it’s not extra. It’s intentional. It’s how we turn food into art, and visuals into value.
