Thanks for celebrating restaurant photo month

We know Local Guides love sharing restaurant photos on Google Maps. That’s why we dedicated July to celebrating local food culture through photography.

What did you think of this celebration, and what would you like to see more of? We’d love it if you’d tell us in the comments. We’re planning to spotlight more food photography and tips on Connect, so be sure to keep sharing your photos with #LocalGuides.

In case you missed any part of the month’s festivities, here’s a quick recap:

To start, our own @AnnaDickson shared5 easy ways to take great food photos, along with some wisdom about what it takes to make your pictures stand out. (Hint: not a fancy camera!)

Then, we got valuable lessons and tips from some of our favorite star food photographers. Corey Marshall showed us how to take the best breakfast photos and met up with Local Guides at Sqirl in L.A.

Shivesh Bhatia demonstrated how to take great photos at lunch and held a photography workshop with Local Guides at Dum Pukht in Delhi.

During week three, Sharon Heinrich showed how to photograph delicious desserts and took us to Paris for a lesson in pastry-making at Colorova.

Then we headed to Bangkok, where the team behind bkkmenu.com shared how to take amazing photos in restaurants and met up with Local Guides at Mother May I Kitchen.

Your photos were a huge part of the festivities, too. We saw so many beautiful breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes (and of course dessert!) with #LocalGuides. It was fantastic to spotlight them here on Connect.

Thank you for joining the celebration!

Thanks @LuisRG The month of July has really been an amazing month.

Thank you all for the photo tips and efforts to enlighten us on food and restaurant photos

با تشکر از شما

Thanks to you @LuisRG for great idea and dedicated month of July for food photography. We learned a lot.

I think this should be continued in August for polish some more food photography skills.

Thanks for the update @LuisRG . Thanks LG Team for the videos too.

Thank you all for the amazing comments, for all your great photos during this month (but I hope to see many more from now on!) and for being so supportive in wanting more communication like this from us.

You’re the best :slight_smile:

Dare for More @LuisRG :slight_smile:

still very Hungry :grin::blush::grin::blush::grin:

@LuisRG , it was such a wonderful month which made us all very hungry. :grin: Food photos are always welcome, especially in this way which inspired all of us to stand together and share food photos from around the world.

Indeed was great month.

Thanks to all who shared.

@LuisRG , fue muy un mes vibrante y con muchas opciones de platos unos más ricos que otros y fotos de gran profesionalismo, esto demuestra y destaca que cuando el tema es convocante, como lo fue la comida en el mundo, los Local Guides sacan lo mejor que tienen. Que es dedicación, esmero y pasión en lo que hacen. Creo que todas muy buenas también un gran diez felicitado a los que participaron y otro especial a los colaboradores que nos mostraron esos trucos para obtener lo mejor de nosotros, sin ser necesario contar con grandes equipos de fotografía, sino con criterio mañana y un poco de ingenio lograr resultados extraordinarios, al equipo de Connect que está detrás de bambalinas llevando adelante este gran mes de la comida.

Gracias totales …

You’re welcome @LuisRG . Local Guides who participated by learning how to improve our food photography skills and were forced to eat out more (and gain some weight = )) to practice, thanks for sharing your photos here on Connect and your social media channels. It was a delicious month to learn more about each other foods and, of course, see all the yummy photos!

Cheers,

Karen

I was lucky to be a part of the event in New Delhi @ ITC Maurya, Dum Pukht restaurant, and learned a lot of food-photography tips from Shivesh of “bakewithshivesh.com” & Shumaila Chauhan of “novicehousewife.com

An absolute taste sensation last month has been. We dined, ate and conquered like a local. One of the best months of fun, food culture has really rocketed into Local Guides. What more? As the pinnacle of summer (well, for the Northern Hemisphere) starts and the beautiful season of spring/autumn starts to emerge for both halves of the world, something outdoorsy would be lovely. And definitely more integration with rising/established social media stars.

Dear @LuisRG Thanks for Share a Beautiful Moments

Thanks @LuisRG , really it was an amzing month for Celebrating Restaurant Photo Month !

Proud to be a part of the event.
