how we work with food and beverage brands.
One studio. One brief. Every asset you need.
Most brands juggle a recipe developer, a food stylist, a photographer and a content creator. At Food Design Studio it's one team, so your recipes, stills and video are planned together and look like one campaign.

why brands choose FDS.
- Everything in-house: one brief, one team, one point of contact
- Recipes that work: every recipe is tested in a real kitchen
- Built for marketing: assets planned for pack, web, retail, social and paid from day one
- Clear usage rights: agreed upfront, so you know where your content can run
- No hidden costs: ingredients are included in our fees, so all costs are upfront, with nothing added later
- Australia-wide: most clients are in Sydney, Melbourne, WA and Tasmania, and simply ship product to the studio
frequently asked questions.
do you work with brands outside queensland?
Yes. Most of our clients are in Sydney, Melbourne, Western Australia and Tasmania. You send product to our studio, and you approve concepts and images online.
can I book just one service?
Yes, though most brands book our all-inclusive package of recipes, photography and video together. It's the best value, and everything is planned as one campaign. If you only need one service, like a styled product shoot, we can do that too.
do you work with agencies?
Yes. We partner with creative and social agencies as their recipe, styling and content team, or style on their shoots.
how much does it cost?
Projects start from $500 + GST for a single UGC video, $800 + GST for a styled product shoot and $1,400 + GST for recipe development with photography. Our 2027 Services Guide walks through our best selling packages and rates.
