On the Gram

Let’s Get Social

I Am Matt McDougall

food photographer, content creator, and the guy who didn’t want to shoot food… until I did. I started out in weddings, swore I’d never touch a cutting board with my camera, and somehow left school with a full food portfolio. Life’s weird like that.

Since then, I’ve been deep in the world of food and beverage content — working with breweries, restaurants, roasters, and the places that take their plates as seriously as I take textures. I like my food messy but defined, my lighting moody but clean, and my clients chill but creative. If you want sterile stock photos, I’m not your guy. But if you want something that feels like your food is about to punch through the screen and land on a plate? Let’s talk.

This year, I’m pivoting — more personality, more recipes, more chaos. That means blog posts, behind-the-scenes chaos, and reels where I yell about cheese or lighting. If you’re into that kinda thing, stick around. And if you’re not? I don’t know, go look at a stock photo of a salad or something.
