Our process.
As your local, expert food photographer in Christchurch, at Focus Point Photo we bring a simple, proven approach to capturing visually stunning and highly effective food and drink imagery:
Pre-production.
We begin by discussing your requirements and providing a quote. We then work with you to lay out a solid brief and shooting schedule, including a detailed list of images. We take lighting test shots to ensure we’ve understood your needs and wants, then identify the props we need, such as glasses, crockery and garnishes.
Production.
Shooting can be a busy day, but we’ll ensure it runs smoothly. Freshness is critical in food photography—it always looks best when it’s just been cooked—so we photograph the food in the chef’s preferred order.
Post-production.
Images captured, we then enhance them. We remove blemishes and balance colour, lighting and contrast to make your photos look good enough to eat or drink! Post-production complete, we deliver your hi-res photos via secure online storage.

Food photographer
Food and drink offers a sensory experience that extends beyond taste and smell—sight has a role to play too. As a renowned Christchurch food photographer, we aim to capture desire. We want the audience to imagine themselves seated at the table, immersed in the deliciousness you’ve created.
Our difference.
If you’re in the food and drink business, photography will play a critical part in capturing the attention of your audience and enticing them to try your wares. Expertly taken imagery can also serve as an instructional, showing your audience how to use or consume your products, or as a means to help customers connect with your brand.
At Focus Point Photo we’re a Christchurch food photographer who can capture the deliciousness of your food in images of the highest quality. We are creative and professional. We also pride ourselves on our customer relationships; we’ll be your trusted partner at every stage of the process.

Client experiences
"We arranged for Jarrard to do a food photography shoot for a lodge and found him very thorough, organised and professional to deal with prior to the photo shoot and we felt that he really listened to what our needs were.
On the day he was very flexible and worked around our chefs timing which made it very easy.
The photos he took were amazing and he got them back to us in a very timely manner which we appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jarrard to anyone looking for a professional food photographer"
"Jarrard and his team are a breeze to work with, fast turnaround, accommodating and gave us great suggestions to make the most of the brief. Our products are very varied in size and shape and the images are well presented and consistent, we’re very happy with them."
"The team at Catalyst, especially the eyes and vision behind the lens, Jarrard, are a genuine professional pleasure to work with. The vision, foresight and expertise to capture our final material in our own unique style for national publication and marketing has always been delivered far and beyond our brief. Their professionalism in post production and campaign assistance rounds off a fun, rewarding and professional result each and every time."
"Isovalve™ used Jarrard at Focus Point Photo (then Catalyst Creative) to undertake a product photo-shoot for us primarily in preparation for our entries for the Design Institute of New Zealand Best Awards, but also to keep on file for marketing purposes. The photos had to be of the highest quality, showcasing very 'dry' plumbing products at their absolute best.
We have been delighted with the end result of his work, which we continue to use on a daily basis, and would not hesitate to use Jarrard again or recommend him for any photographic assignment."
