If I had to start from scratch and get restaurant clients, here’s exactly what I’d do: 📸 Build a strong portfolio. (Don’t have one? Then step 2 is free.) 🍽️ Make a list of 10-20 restaurants you’d love to shoot for. Be intentional—focus on spots that align with the style of work you want to do. 📩 Send each one a personalized email offering a free or discounted shoot. Make it about them, not you. Show how better photos = better business. 🔥 Overdeliver. Make sure the images are so good they can’t ignore you. 📅 Pitch them a monthly content plan. Restaurants always need fresh visuals—this is where the real money is. 🔄 Repeat the process. Do this enough times, and you’ll have a full client list before you know it. 💬 Want a proven email template to pitch restaurants?
