Dear Hiring Manager,
My name is Mike, I am a professional photographer based in New York City, and I would like to be considered for your food photography project. I have experience shooting all types of photography. I shoot with professional equipment, and I charge $100 per hour, but I will charge you per project to work with your budget.
That said, I need more details about the shoot.
How soon would you like this completed?
Will the shoot be done at your restaurant or in a studio? (I'd recommend your restaurant, that way it's faster and easier to style and switch dishes).
Are you styling the dishes or am I styling the food as well?
Are you looking to shoot just flat lay style?
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Looking forward to working with you!
Best regards,
Mike
