Before the photoshoot

01/

Be ready to receive a call from OCUS to confirm the appointment’s date and time, the address, the number of photos, and the time required for the photoshoot.
Don’t forget to add it to your calendar and inform your team members if you will not be at the location throughout the duration of the photoshoot.
Have one person available to prepare the location before the photographer arrives.

-> The outcome of this photoshoot will depend on how you can successfully complete the necessary preparations ahead of time. This will ensure you are ready when the photographer arrives:

Please allocate space for the photoshoot
Prepare the food to avoid delaying the photographer
Prepare the list of dish names for the photographer

-> If you wish to cancel or reschedule, please contact the photographer at least 24 hours before the photoshoot.

-> Please bring your ID to confirm your identity with the photographer.

During the photoshoot

Your partner has worked with OCUS to develop the image specifications that your photographer will have to follow. They will not be able to accommodate any other requests.
Please have someone available (if not you) throughout the photoshoot in case the photographer needs your help.
Make sure to stick to the duration agreed as the photographer may have other photoshoots after yours.
Plate food with attention to detail, using a neutral background and avoiding plastic containers for best results.
Please provide the photographer with a list of the dish names.

You can assist the photographer with their photoshoot by giving them the necessary indications for the good progress of the photoshoot.
-> Select the photos with the photographer at the end of the photoshoot.
-> For any questions, the OCUS team will always be there for you.
-> Have a great time!
