ABOUT
Welcome to our studio.
With 20 years of photography and motion experience in the food world, we are able to provide both those services and create unique work tailored to each client’s particular needs.
WHO WE ARE
Thomas Schauer Studio is a motion and still photography studio focusing on commercial projects in the food industry.
Our job is simple—whether your product is a humble root vegetable or a Michelin starred plated composition, we create a unique language to express your message and elevate your product to show at its absolute best.
We operate studios in New York City, USA, and Vienna, Austria and are available for small to large scale productions internationally.
WHAT WE DO
Our take is fresh, modern, lively, and product-sensitive.
We are known for our expertise at lighting, and for our keen understanding of a chef’s approach, which we use in our work to coax out the best from every product.
We make your product the hero, and achieve this by our ability to think like a chef--not just like a photographer.
We care. We work closely with our clients and make sure you feel our knowledge and expertise.
