  • Food Truck Photography

    Food trucks look great as background pictures in weddings, parties and on Instagram. An awesome cover photo is everything and you need to look awesomely clickable.

    Photos are how you promote your food truck.The most important subjects are in the name: your food and your truck. The people in and around your food truck are a close third.

  • Checklist & tips for your profile photos

    • Food truck: Get close. Get far. Get high and low. Get inside. With people. Without people. Serve food. Stand in front.
    • The food: Use a good mix of close-ups, cooking, serving. People eating your food. Smiling and holding your food.
    • Atmosphere: Use decorations to set the scene. Chalkboards, string lights, flags, your menu, your logo, your name. Think colors. Smoke. Fire. Cute tables. Old chairs. Things that capture your atmosphere.
    • Natural light: Use bright daylight. Sun behind you beaming on your food and truck. All cameras work better in daylight. Filters can fix lighting and colors. Dark photos are hard to fix.
    • Good camera: Use your smart phones to capture lots of moments. Phone cameras are easy and in your hand most of the time. Trade food with a photographer or pay toget some fabulous shots to use all year, all the time.
    • Setting: Park your truck a beautiful spot. In a field, on the water, at sunset, on the beach. For lively photos, use parties, weddings, festivals. Ask your guest for permission or for their best pics.
