Our Methodology — SWEETnSPICY (2024)

Our Methodology — SWEETnSPICY (1)

We offer Complete Full Service Food Photography and Video Production Packages.

In order to achieve TOP End Results we have developed a methodology that delivers incredible results every time.

In the beginning (and still to this day) we‘ve always asked ourselves, “what can we do differently to make it better next time?“ By doing this after every project we’ve mastered the art of photographing food and developed a process that consistently delivers mouth-watering results.

There are several elements that go into what we do. Passion, experience, talent, and having an eye for what looks good are all very important. We have high standards for what we produce, and the best way to meet these standards are all part of our 5-Step Premium-Look Methodology.

  • Experience - Steven Domjancic, our primary photographer and creative director, has a proven track record that speaks for itself. Steven is passionate about his work and has earned the reputation for having “an eye” for what looks good. Steven has produced content for brands such as Chapman’s Ice Cream, McCormick, Chicken Farmers of Canada, Billy Bee, Thai Kitchen, Sunrise Soya, Landmark Cinemas, Cineplex, Frank’s Red Hot and many more.

  • Talented Food Stylists - Our team consists of some of the very best food stylists in the country and we always work with the person who’s the best fit for the job. If we’re shooting ice cream, the stylist you’ll get will be an ice cream specialist. If we’re shooting pizza, the stylist you’ll get will be a pizza specialist and so on.

  • Set Styling - We source or create surfaces and backgrounds depending on what’s needed for a specific look and feel. We gather the right props and ingredients that tell a story. We take colour palettes and plating seriously because they make a huge difference in whether the food stands out or blends into the background.

  • Beautiful Lighting - We control the light in our studio to keep every shot consistent. The angle of light to make sure the sauce glistens is an important detail when it comes to shooting food. That’s why we have a variety of lights and light modifiers that help us achieve the best results.
