Home-Cooked Meal Photo Library

I’m building a recipe website and need a sizable library of authentic, mouth-watering photographs that feel like they were taken right in a real kitchen. The focus is exclusively on home-cooked meals—no restaurant plating or packaged products.

Scope of dishes
• Breakfast and snacks
• Lunch and dinner plates
• Desserts and baked goods

I want each shot to celebrate the warmth and imperfection of home cooking: visible steam from fresh soup, a slightly uneven slice of pie, crumbs on the cutting board. Natural lighting, minimal styling, and a horizontal orientation work best for my blog layout, though I’m happy to mix in a few vertical hero shots where it fits the dish.

Deliverables
1. 60 high-resolution JPEG or PNG images, evenly spread across the three meal categories above.
2. A simple spreadsheet (dish name, category, and any noteworthy ingredients) so I can match photos to upcoming posts.

Acceptance criteria
• Minimum 3000 px on the shortest side, clear focus, no artificial filters.
• Original work only—please do not pull from stock libraries you don’t own.
• Food should fill at least 70 % of the frame; props stay subtle.
• Basic color correction is fine, but the food’s true color must remain realistic.

If you already have an existing catalog, let me know what you can supply; otherwise, fresh shoots are welcome. I look forward to seeing your homemade creations!
