Commercial & Product Photography

These are the images that have to keep working for years. The dish on the menu. The suite on the booking page. The product in the campaign that runs all quarter. A hotel restaurant has to look like somewhere you want to eat rather than somewhere that was photographed, and the difference usually comes down to details nobody notices until they are missing. We make images for hospitality, food and beverage, retail and product brands whose marketing has to look as considered as what they are selling.

What We Cover

Food and beverage. Plated dishes, cocktails, bar programs and the atmosphere around them, for restaurants, hotels and venues. Food photographs for about ninety seconds before it starts to look tired, so we build the running order around your kitchen rather than asking your kitchen to work around us.

Product and still life. Your product photographed so it looks like the thing someone wants rather than a catalog entry. Bottles, packaging, merchandise and the detail shots that carry a campaign.

Interiors and workplace. Guest rooms, restaurants, lobbies, meeting space and amenities, photographed in the light they actually look best in. For hotel and property groups this is the library that feeds the website, the booking channels and every sales deck for the next several years.

Offices and headquarters. Workspaces, boardrooms, reception and common areas, photographed for recruiting, annual reports, real estate marketing and the design firms that built the space. An office has to read as occupied without anyone being identifiable, so we schedule around your workday instead of waiting for the floor to empty.

Retail environments. Store interiors, displays and merchandising, shot so a brand's physical space matches the standard of its advertising.

Campaign and marketing imagery. The images built for a specific push, with the usage worked out before we shoot rather than renegotiated after it.

Where We Work

Most of this work happens on location at a studio, at the hotel or resort property or at the offices of the brand we are photographing. We have worked with The Ritz-Carlton in Dallas, Hugo Boss and Canali at NorthPark Center, hotel and restaurant groups across Dallas and Fort Worth, and brands whose campaigns needed creative, provocative and compelling work. If a more controlled environment is the best option for a project, we have partner studios that suit any occasion. The decision is driven by the creative brief and desired outcome.

How We Run a Commercial Project

Commercial work is the most planned thing we do, and that's in your favor. Before a shoot we storyboard: what the set looks like, what the shot list contains, how the finished images will be used. Large projects need that blueprint, because finding a gap on the day costs far more here than it does at an event.

Styling matters more here than anywhere else in our work. A plated dish photographs for about ninety seconds before it starts to look tired, which is why food work runs on a tighter rhythm than clients expect and why we plan the order of shots around the kitchen rather than the other way round.

What you receive. Commercial and branding projects are delivered in 10 to 14 business days. License rights are confirmed before before the project starts, because what you intend to do with the images changes what we need to capture & deliver.

Client Love

“The Mamones are truly remarkable. Their photos are always the highest quality, spot on with our company’s brand image, and they capture the moment perfectly. Their work is beautiful and they are a delight to work with. They are extremely kind, professional, and go the extra mile with every project. I would recommend The Mamones for any commercial or professional project.”

Questions Clients Ask

What usage rights do we get?

Your specific needs are confirmed before the project. You tell us where the images will appear, in what specific mediums and for how long, including paid media if that is planned, and the licensing is written to match your exact needs.

Do you handle styling, or do we need a stylist?

It depends on the project. We offer creative services including project development, storyboarding and styling, and for larger projects we will tell you where a dedicated food stylist or prop stylist will pay for themselves. For a straightforward product or interior shoot, we usually handle it.

How quickly do we get the images?

Commercial and branding projects are delivered in 10 to 14 business days. Retouching is part of that timeline rather than an extra step afterward.

Can you photograph our property and our food in the same visit?

Yes, and it is usually more efficient. Interiors want a certain quality of light and food wants the kitchen's attention, so we build a schedule that gets both rather than compromising on each. This is a planning conversation, not a day-of decision.

Do you travel for commercial work?

Yes. Property and hospitality groups often need consistent imagery across multiple locations, and using the same team for all of them is the only way the library actually looks like one brand. Travel expenses sit outside your custom proposal and are quoted separately.

What do you need from us to quote a project?

A shot list or a sense of how many images you need, where they will be used, and the deadline. If you have a brand guide or an existing image library, send that too. It tells us more about what you want than a description usually does.
