Restaurant Videography

Short Clips That Fill the Room

Restaurant videography built for the phone: short vertical clips of the pour, the pull and the room at full service, shot on site and cut ready for Instagram Reels and TikTok.

What You Get

Vertical Clips, Not a Brand Film

Most restaurants do not need a three-minute documentary. They need a steady supply of short clips that stop a thumb: steam off a skillet, a cocktail finished at the bar, a plate landing on the pass. Each clip is shot and edited as a finished vertical video, priced per clip, so you pay for what you post.

Framed 9:16 from the startComposed for a phone screen, not cropped down from a wide shot.
Built around movementPours, pulls, flames and plating — the moments a still can only hint at.
Priced per clipFrom $150 a clip, so a two-clip month and a ten-clip launch both make sense.

Who Shoots It

A Food Photographer Behind the Camera

Dustyn has photographed restaurants across Long Beach and Los Angeles, including weekly service nights at both Mezcalero rooms, and has shot product video for liquor brands. That matters on video: knowing where a dish reads best, how a bar looks under its own light, and when to stay out of a busy kitchen's way. The frames on this page are his stills from those rooms — the moments a clip gets built around.

Behind the Lens

Restaurant Videography with Dustyn Reno

A real DRD restaurant still — the kind of moment a vertical clip is built around

Dustyn Reno shoots every clip himself. He has photographed restaurants across Long Beach and Downtown Los Angeles — Mezcalero, Pier 76, Padre's and The Ordinarie — and has shot product video for liquor brands.

Local context: Instagram Reels and TikTok both play full-screen at a 9:16 aspect ratio, 1080×1920 pixels, so every clip is framed vertically on the day rather than cropped out of a widescreen shot afterwards. Both platforms take MP4 files in H.264 (ISO/IEC 14496-10), the same codec behind the walkthrough files I deliver for real estate listings.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does restaurant videography cost?
Vertical clips start at $150 each. If you want photos and video every month rather than one visit, ask about the monthly retainer, which starts at $499 — the exact figure depends on how many clips and images you need.
What kinds of clips work best for a restaurant?
Movement you can only see on video: a drink being poured or torched, a cheese pull, a dish plated on the pass, and a few seconds of the room when it is full. Those beat a slow pan across an empty dining room every time.
Can you photograph our menu on the same visit?
Yes — menu photography runs from $349, and pairing it with clips means the dishes on your delivery apps and the dishes on your feed look like the same restaurant.Restaurant menu photography →
Do you work with restaurants outside Riverside?
Yes. Dustyn is based in Riverside and works across the Inland Empire, Orange County, Long Beach and Los Angeles, where most of his restaurant work has been.Food photography in Los Angeles →
