What size do these print at?

Each photo is composed at a clean crop suited to a menu board, a print or a delivery app listing.

Can I get a different dish, like sashimi or a temaki?

Yes — the direction field takes any dish, and the same three-light set renders it.

What's the difference between the three lights?

One favours rice texture under bright even light, one catches the sheen on raw fish under a softer angle, and one is styled for a printed menu.

Can I use these for my restaurant's menu?

Yes — these are generated images meant for menu boards, delivery listings and social posts, with no real dish photographed.

Sushi photography: nigiri, cut roll, chirashi bowl

Sushi photography — Six pieces of nigiri lined on a black lacquer board — salmon, tuna, yellowtail and seared eel — each slice draped over pressed rice, a brush of glaze on the eel, a mound of pickled ginger and a smear of wasabi., broad soft even daylight from directly above, light and open with a thin soft shadow at each edge, on a dark grey stone slab

What the sushi counter sells, photographed to be ordered from: a nigiri set on a lacquer board, a cut roll fanned on slate, a chirashi bowl. Rice grain, the sheen on the fish and the wet edge of the cut are the details the picture lives on, and each light finds a different one. Ask for a different dish — a sashimi platter, a temaki, an omakase course — and the same three lights carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
