The photos
This is what an entrée should look like online.
Video production, food photography, and social media management for New York restaurants. We make your food look like it tastes, and we use social media to help new guests find you.
Watch the reel
At one New York restaurant we shoot for, the average check is $84 a person. Guests who booked after seeing the food on social media spend $100. Same kitchen, same menu, same prices. The difference is the video they watched before they walked in.

What we do
We shoot it. Post it yourself, or let us run the accounts.
Every video need a restaurant has. Shot on location, lit properly, cut for where it will run.
The picture a guest decides from. Menu, delivery apps, Google and social, all from the same shoot.
We run the accounts so the content we shoot goes out every week, and we use it to put you in front of people who have never been in. New guests find you on social and on Google first.
How it works
A short call. We look at your menu, your feed, and where you want to be, and build the shot list with your chef.
Photography and video in the same session, on location, each plate lit properly. You see the difference on the day.
The content goes out on a calendar we run. Captions, scheduling, replies. Your feed stays alive without you touching it.
New dishes, new seasons, new shoots. A monthly report tells you what worked, in plain English.
Why DMG
We have produced video and photography in New York since 2015, and for the last four years we have pointed all of it 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.
Opening soon? We shoot before the doors open. See the launch package.
“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.”

Three things: video production (commercials, promotional videos, and social media video), food photography (menu, delivery apps, and social), and social media management, where we run your Instagram, TikTok and Meta accounts using the content we shoot.
Both. We shoot the video and photography, then we run the accounts: posting calendar, captions, replies, and a monthly report. The goal is reach: social is how new guests find a restaurant before they walk past it. 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. Edited content is delivered on a turnaround we confirm before the shoot.
Yes. We shoot before opening and run launch-week content. See the Launch page.
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.
