About Food & Beverage Photography & Styling
I’m Abhishek and I like keeping things simple, but my shoots are anything but basic. I do both food photography and styling, so you get visuals that actually make people hungry. I’m all about making chaat look spicy and fresh, sushi look premium, and coffee look like the pick-me-up it is.
How I Work
- I handle the entire scene - from arranging props and ingredients to getting the lighting just right. This means you get creative food styling and restaurant menu photography in one go.
- I pay a lot of attention to detail. If the texture of a brownie isn’t popping, I’ll tweak till it does.
- Mood is everything. I can make your food look dramatic for a fancy menu, or casual for Insta reels.
What I Shoot
- Cafes, hotels, restaurants - I’ve shot for Barista, Chili’s, Gulab Sweets and more. From fine-dine to street food, I’ve covered it.
- Packaged products - jam jars, bakery boxes, and all the e-commerce stuff.
- Social media images - lifestyle food images, flatlays, action shots in food photography like steam wafting or someone sprinkling coriander.
Where You’ll Find Me
Based in Delhi-NCR, but I’ve travelled from Ludhiana to Srinagar for shoots. If your food needs a story, I’ll go wherever it takes me.
