Look as good on social as you do on the plate.

Video production, food photography, and social media management for New York restaurants. Better video and photos make you the restaurant people stop for, and we put them in front of the guests who haven't been in yet.

13%

more sales. From the photos alone.

Restaurants with photos on at least half their menu see a 13% average lift in sales. Grubhub puts it higher: menus with images get 70% more orders. Nothing else in your marketing moves the number that far for that little. How your food looks is what makes you the most money.

Two years of shoots

“Like fine wine, it gets better with time.”

“David Media has been doing our videos and photos for the last two years. When we think our photos and videos can’t get any better, there goes another shoot that captures the moment from a different lens. He’s creative, he’s detailed, he’s patient, and he listens to exactly what our goals are so that his work depicts everything to our satisfaction. I recommend David Media if you are looking to build a great portfolio.”

Three things. All of them about how your food looks.

We shoot it. Post it yourself, or let us run the accounts.

01

Video Production

Every video need a restaurant has, from one team. Shot on location, lit properly, cut for where it will run.

  • Commercials & brand films
  • Promotional videos for launches, menus & events
  • Social media video: reels, TikTok, Shorts
The food, moving, the way it looks in the room
02

Food Photography

The picture a guest decides from. Menu, delivery apps, Google, and social, all from the same shoot.

  • Menu photography for print, web & delivery apps
  • Social media photography, shot vertical
  • Drinks, desserts & dining room
The plate looks the way it was plated.
03

Social Media Management

We run the accounts so the content we shoot goes out every week, and we use it to put your restaurant in front of people who have never been in. New guests find you on social and on Google before they find you on the street.

  • Instagram, TikTok & Meta, managed monthly
  • Google Business Profile: photos, posts, menu & reviews, kept current
  • Posting calendar, captions & scheduling
  • Comment & DM replies
  • Monthly report in plain English
New guests find you. Regulars remember you.

We've been creating content for over a decade.

David Media Group has been producing video and photography in New York City since 2015. For the last four years we have pointed that experience at restaurants, shooting, editing, and posting for kitchens across the city. We came up doing the work, not consulting about it, which is why we know what makes a plate look like it tastes and what makes someone stop scrolling.

We don't do everything for everyone. We do video, photography, and social for restaurants, and we give every partner the whole team. That focus is why our partners grow, and why they stay.

Common Questions

Three things for restaurants in New York City: video production (commercials, promos, and social media video), food photography (menu and social), and social media management, where we run your accounts using the content we shoot.

Because guests decide from the picture. DoorDash’s 2026 Restaurant Trends Report found restaurants with photos on at least half their menu see a 13% average lift in sales. Grubhub reports menus with images get 70% more orders. No other marketing line moves revenue that far for that little.

Both. We shoot the video and photography, then we run the accounts: posting schedule, captions, replies, and a monthly report. The goal is reach, not just a full feed: social is how new guests find a restaurant before they ever walk past it. One team, no handoff. If you only need content, we do that too.

We plan the dish list with you or your chef in advance, arrive on location, light each plate properly, and capture photography and video in the same session so you get both from one day. Edited content is delivered on a turnaround we confirm before the shoot.

We work with restaurants, and we shoot wherever they are: New York City, across the US, and internationally. We take on a small number of restaurants at once so every one gets the whole team.

Monthly partnerships start at $2,000 per month and scale with how much video, photography, and social management you need. We show you your return on that investment: how many new guests found you, and what they spent. Fill out the form and we will recommend a package within 48 hours.
