About Food & Beverage Photography
I make food look as tempting in photos as it is on your plate. I handle everything from food styling to shooting, so you get visuals that actually speak for your brand, not some generic stock image.
My Way of Working
- I bring my gear and studio setup to your spot - doesn't matter if it's a bustling café or a quiet hotel kitchen.
- I set up lighting and backgrounds on site, making sure I don’t mess with your regular operations.
- Every dish gets its own attention, from arranging the tiniest mint leaf to making sure that pizza cheese pull looks real. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get that perfect shot, but I’m all about that detail.
What I Shoot
- Full restaurant menu photography for print and online.
- Images for food ordering apps and campaigns.
- Coffee, cocktails, smoothies, plus burgers, pizzas, curries, Asian plates, and desserts. Basically, if it’s food or drink, I’ve shot it.
My Clients
I've worked with places like Big Chill, Chili’s, Shangri-La, Hyatt Regency, and more. Big brands, small cafes, I’ve seen it all.
Gear I Use
I shoot with Canon EOS R5 and premium lenses. That means sharp, vibrant shots every time. Not every shoot is perfect - sometimes lighting is tricky, sometimes dishes melt. But I work around it.
If you want food advertising images or social media food photos that stand out, I’m your guy.

My Story
Hey, I'm Abhishek Khanna. Food and my camera - bas, that's my thing. Been at this since 2018, started with a Canon EOS 700D, now it's the R5 all the way. I’m a Canon EOS Influencer, but honestly, it’s all about the craft and getting those details right. Shot everything from Delhi’s classic cafes to big global brands. My style? Technical, but always about making food look yum.
