School Up

There's a lot of picture-taking potential sitting right there in your pocket. Here's a guide to not only taking photos on your phone, but taking well-lit, interesting and creative ones each and every time.

How to Take Great Photos on Your Smartphone

The feel, the vibe, the energy of a restaurant, it goes a long way to elevate an experience for a diner. Delicious food and drinks are important, yes, but this only gets you so far if the service and energy of a restaurant isn’t right. We feel the same from a content perspective, you need the whole package. You can shoot hot shots of food and drink, but it’s the shots that convey a sense of the energy and feel of a space that helps an audience understand how it feels to be dine in that restaurant. As a photographer, if you’re able to capture compelling and natural atmospheric content, you’ve got yourself some valuable content.

How to Capture Atmosphere

400 shoots and upwards of 28,000 photos, rolling out across socials, eDMs, websites, print and paste-ups. This is what we've achieved at Buffet (in images alone) this year, from The Ace Hotel Sydney to City of Parramatta and Icebergs Dining Room & Bar. These are mindboggling numbers to think about, yes, but who better than our team to bring you the best of the best. Here they are — the images that have been imprinted on our minds in 2022.
