About Jon Maple
| Restaurant Photographer & Videographer

For more than 30 years, I’ve shaped light, motion, and sound into stories designed to capture attention. My career has taken me from Los Angeles to the Daytona 500, from fashion and editorial photography to live performances with artists including Jonathan Cain of Journey and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

​

After relocating to Orlando, I launched and operated one of the city’s largest photography and video studios. Over time, my creative focus shifted toward something with a little more flavor: restaurants and the challenge of making food look every bit as good on screen as it does when it arrives at the table.

​

For the last three years, I’ve specialized in restaurant videography and food photography throughout Central Florida. I work with restaurants from Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Wesley Chapel to Orlando, Winter Park, and surrounding communities.

FoodieSnaps combines professional food photography with cinematic restaurant video production built specifically for today’s digital-first market. That includes restaurant photography, social media reels, food videography, interior and atmosphere photography, behind-the-scenes content, and visual storytelling designed for websites, social media, advertising, and online listings.

​

My approach goes beyond simply making a dish look beautiful. Every image and video should have a purpose. It should communicate the personality of the restaurant, create an emotional response, and give someone a reason to stop scrolling and start thinking about where they want to eat.

​

Whether I’m photographing a signature dish, filming a chef at work, capturing the energy of a dining room, or creating a short cinematic reel, the goal remains the same: make the restaurant memorable before the guest ever walks through the door.

Restaurants compete for attention long before they compete for a reservation. FoodieSnaps helps make sure that first impression is worth remembering.
