WHO COOKS AND SETS UP THE FOOD READY FOR THE PHOTOSHOOT?
The head chef or a food stylist will normally cook, prepare and style the food for the photograph. Restaurant Marketing Agency is able to style simple food set-ups and work with the head chef if budgets cannot accommodate a professional food stylist.

Yes. Most professional stylists day rates start at $250
