When Damo, the head chef at Kingdom 1795, reached out from Killorglin with an urgent food photography request, I knew it was an opportunity to showcase the exceptional quality of this County Kerry restaurant. Known for its high culinary standards, Kingdom 1795 was about to be featured on the Michelin Guide website, and they needed top-quality, professional photos that would reflect their status as one of Killorglin’s best dining experiences. With the deadline close, I got to work immediately, creating photos that would meet the Michelin Guide’s strict standards.
The next day, I arrived at the restaurant in Killorglin, where Damo had prepared a stunning lineup of dishes, covering everything from starters to mains and desserts. I used natural daylight in a window-lit setup, softened by a diffuser, to bring out the colours, textures, and artistic presentation of each plate—critical aspects for food photography that make dishes look as enticing as they taste. This setup was key to showing the authentic flavours and careful detail that make Kingdom 1795 stand out as one of Killorglin’s finest restaurants.
After the shoot, I edited a selection of the best images, highlighting Kingdom 1795’s fresh ingredients, creative plating, and the exceptional atmosphere of this Killorglin gem. The photos met Michelin’s high standards, and I was thrilled to hear they were accepted for publication on the Michelin Guide website—a testament to the quality of both the food and the photography.
For anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Killorglin, I highly recommend a visit to Kingdom 1795. From locally-sourced ingredients to inventive Irish cuisine, this restaurant offers an elevated culinary experience in County Kerry. And if you’re a restaurant or chef seeking professional food photography—or any business needing quality visuals for websites, social media, or print materials—feel free to reach out. I’m here to help bring the essence of your brand to life.
