Food photography has never been more popular — all you have to do is open TikTok or Instagram and you’ll be flooded with an array of recipe videos and stunning photographs of culinary creations.
In a bid to elevate the art of food photography, FujiFilmAustralia has launched an exciting new experience for Sydneysiders — Foodtography Tours.

They offer a unique opportunity to explore some of Sydney’s hottest culinary spots while learning the ins and outs of capturing the perfect food shot.
The initiative comes on the heels of new research conducted by FujiFilm revealing that 32 per cent of young Aussies struggle to snap good food photos, with many admitting they lacked the right tools or skills to do justice to their meals.
The Foodtography Tours have been developed in collaboration with Local Sauce Tours, one of Australia’s leading culinary tour operators, and TikTok sensation Adrian Widjonarko (aka Adrian Widjy).
The tours will give participants a chance to taste their way through Sydney’s Newtown neighbourhood.
Some of the delicious treats, you’ll get to try include Turkish ice cream, Italian fritti, modern Cantonese dishes and Mexican street food, and even a twist on the classic Aussie meat pie — all while Fujifilm’s expert photographers share tips and tricks to get that picture-perfect shot.
The tours are a perfect introduction to FujiFilm’s latest innovation, the X-M5 mirrorless digital camera, launched in October as the brand’s first camera aimed squarely at the creator generation.
The X-M5 boasts a lightweight, compact design, superior image quality, and a 9:16 recording mode ideal for creating engaging content.
It’s a camera that allows content creators, whether beginners or experienced, to snap vibrant photos and videos with ease, perfect for everything from food shots to vlogs.
“At FujiFilm we are passionate about inspiring creativity, and we know that food photography has become a beloved genre for many Australians,” general manager of the Electronic Imaging & Optical Devices Division at FujiFilm Australia Shaun Mah explains.
“With the launch of the X-M5, we saw an opportunity to bring together the worlds of food, photography, and technology.”
Throughout the Foodtography Tours, guests will be guided by Adrian Widjonarko, a renowned food content creator who has become a household name thanks to his TikTok presence.
Widjonarko, who has been documenting Sydney’s must-try food spots for over four years, is excited to share his knowledge with participants and show them how to bring their food photography skills to the next level.
“It’s been an incredible journey capturing and sharing Sydney’s food scene, and I’m thrilled to work with FujiFilm and Local Sauce Tours to help others do the same,” Adrian says.
Whether you’re a food lover looking to capture the perfect shot, or an aspiring content creator ready to take your social media presence to the next level, these tours promise to offer a deliciously creative experience you won’t want to miss.
The tours also make a perfect early Christmas present for any foodies in your life.
