Behind the Shoot: Julian Lallo Elevates Italian Eats with Duo Boards

When Melbourne-based food photographer Julian Lallo got called in to shoot a fresh menu for one of his regular restaurant clients, he brought more than just his camera—he brought Duo Boards.

The restaurant was tired of the same old brown tabletops in every shot. Enter the Terrazzo Duo Board: double-sided, hyper-realistic, and ready to mix things up. One side has warm terra cotta flecks—perfect for pizza and pasta. The flip side? Cool greys and blacks for a modern, moody feel.

Julian shot both sides using natural light right inside the restaurant. No studio. No fuss. Just high-quality results with a backdrop that’s as flexible as your creativity.

Why it worked:
✔️ Double-sided for different vibes
✔️ Lightweight & portable for on-location shoots
✔️ Textures that look real—because they are (300 dpi, baby)

Whether you're shooting in a studio or smack in the middle of a restaurant rush, Duo Boards make pro-level food photography simple and stunning.
