About FOF Productions

FOF Productions is a creative digital media agency specialising in social-first video content for restaurants and hospitality brands.

We work closely with restaurant owners and chefs to create high-performing Instagram Reels, Tik Tok videos, and You Tube Shorts that drive engagement and footfall. Our work is practical, fast-paced, and designed for real social media results, not cinematic showreels.

Important – Please Read Before Applying

This role is not suitable for:

  • Cinematographers or filmmakers
  • Music video or artist videographers
  • Wedding or event videographers

We are specifically looking for someone with hands-on experience creating food content for restaurants on social media
.

Applications without relevant food / restaurant social media work will not be considered.

The Role

We’re looking for a Social Media Food Videographer with at least 1 years of experience creating content for restaurants and food brands.

You’ll be responsible for shooting vertical, social-first food videos inside live restaurant environments. This includes close-up food shots, kitchen action, plating, ambience, and quick storytelling designed for Reels and Tik Tok.

This is a practical, repeatable role. You’ll often shoot multiple restaurants per week using proven content formats.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Shooting vertical video content for Instagram Reels, Tik Tok, and Shorts
  • Capturing food close-ups (texture, steam, pours, sizzles, plating)
  • Filming in fast-paced restaurant environments during service hours
  • Working from clear shot lists and content formats
  • Setting up simple lighting where needed for food visuals
  • Delivering clean, consistent footage ready for editing
  • Collaborating with the creative and social media team on content ideas

What We’re Looking For

You must have experience in:

  • Shooting food content for restaurants or cafés
  • Creating content specifically for social media platforms
  • Vertical video formats (9:16)
  • Fast turnarounds and repeatable content styles
  • Working on-location in real restaurants

You should be comfortable with:

  • Close-up food shots and movement
  • Natural light and basic lighting setups
  • Shooting on gimbal
  • Taking creative direction and following formats

This Role Is NOT For You If

  • Your portfolio is mainly films, short films, or cinema projects
  • Your background is mostly weddings, events, or music videos
  • You prefer slow, staged, cinematic shoots
  • You do not have food or restaurant work to show

How to Apply

Please include:

  • A portfolio link (Instagram, Tik Tok, or website)
  • Direct links to food or restaurant videos you’ve shot.

Applications without food / restaurant social media examples will be automatically rejected.
