I use high-precision macro lenses and controlled strobe lighting to ensure the textures of the protein remain distinct, while the sauce maintains its appetizing, rich quality for your menu or advertising. Shooting Indian main courses requires a specific technical approach because these dishes are often rich in sauce and heavy on complex textures. Unlike dry snacks, curries and gravies need precise lighting to prevent them from looking greasy or losing depth. ### My Technical Approach I use the Canon EOS R5 paired with macro lenses to capture the fine details of the food, from the char on a kebab to the glossy surface of a makhani gravy. My process involves: * **Structural Styling:** I arrange fresh ingredients, like chopped coriander, ginger juliennes, or a drizzle of cream, using professional tools like tweezers to ensure the presentation is perfect. * **Lighting Control:** I avoid generic lighting. For gravies, I use specific softbox setups to create highlights that suggest freshness, even in a static image. * **Focus Stacking:** For large-format prints, I use focus stacking techniques to ensure the entire dish is sharp, from the garnish on top to the base of the bowl. ### Why Professional Styling Matters Your menu is often the first interaction a customer has with your food. Professional styling ensures that the visual output matches the high standard of your kitchen. Whether you are a restaurant owner looking for menu updates or a food brand shooting for a new product launch, my focus is on delivering images that drive orders and look realistic. I work with you to understand your brand identity, ensuring the props, backgrounds, and angles align with your visual communication. ## About Abhishek Khanna I’m Abhishek Khanna.
