Food Photographer

Hi, I’m Drew Somerville, a food photographer in Charleston, SC. With years of experience capturing the essence of delectable dishes and enticing drinks, I am the perfect choice for any establishment looking to showcase their culinary offerings in the best possible light.

As a passionate foodie with a love for local cuisine, my childhood in Washington, D.C. was marked by a curiosity for different cultures and their culinary traditions. This passion only grew when I moved to Charleston, and I quickly combined my love of food with my budding photography skills to create stunning images that truly capture the essence of every dish.

My focus on restaurant food photography allows me to specialize in bringing menus to life, showcasing each dish with artful composition, lighting, and color. I pride myself on creating images that connect people to each other through the power of food, elevating the dining experience for everyone involved.

When I’m not behind the lens, I can be found experimenting with new recipes and cooking up a storm in my own kitchen.

If you're looking to elevate your brand with expertly crafted food photography, look no further. 

Contact me today to schedule your next photo shoot and let me help bring your menu to life with stunning, mouthwatering visuals!
