About Page and Plate Studio

Laura Scherb Page and Plate

Location

My home studio is in Chicago. From there, I host clients remotely via live tethering and facilitate productions in rented studio spaces. Though Chicago is my home, I love traveling, and I’m always game to come to you.

Hi! I’m Laura.

I’m the woman behind Page and Plate Studio and a Chicagoland-based food photographer, stylist, and obsessive. I’ve been taking photos of food for almost 10 years now, for clients ranging from consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands, restaurants, cookbook authors, and food companies. My food and beverage photography and styling has been featured on The FeedFeed, The TODAY Show, Esquire, The Spruce Eats, Eater, Edible Chicago, and FoodGawker.

My passion is helping you stand out from the crowd through your photography. Everyone has a story, and I’m here to help you tell it with beautiful, vibrant photos.

Here’s what I bring to every project I take on:

  • Marketing know-how for creative direction;

  • Proven practices and processes for photo production;

  • A built-in library of props and backdrops for your use;

  • Hands-on food and prop styling—at no extra charge; and

  • Clear, consistent communication.

Services

I’m a food and beverage photographer with skills in food styling, prop styling, art direction, and post-production. I bring all of these components together to produce beautiful work for all of my clients.

Collaborative Work

I’ve produced work independently and as a part of a team. Though I feel comfortable in tackling all aspects of production, from art direction to lighting to prop and food styling on my own, I love collaborating with larger teams.

Psst!

Once upon a time, this website was a food blog. I still write recipes, but they’re all shared on my Substack. You can follow me there (and on all of these other platforms!) for more delicious content.
