## About Indian Street Food & Snacks

Capturing street food requires more than just a camera. Because street food can quickly lose its appeal if not styled correctly, I handle the arrangement of garnishes, chutneys, and textures myself. I use macro lenses to highlight the crunch of a samosa or the creaminess of yogurt in dahi bhalla, ensuring the final image looks as fresh as when it was served.

Shooting street food for digital menus and delivery apps like Zomato or Swiggy is about balancing authenticity with visual appeal. Unlike fine dining, street food relies on recognizing the dish instantly—customers need to see the crispiness of the crust and the vibrancy of the toppings.

### Why Styling Matters
I don't just take the photo; I build the plate. I manage the styling for every shoot, which includes selecting props like traditional bowls or rustic wood boards that fit the theme of the dish. For chaat or dahi bhalla, I focus on the 'drip' and the layering of chutneys, ensuring the ingredients remain distinct and don't blend into a mess. 

### Technical Approach
*   **Lighting:** I use specific multi-light setups to define the texture of fried items like kachoris and puris, eliminating unnecessary glare while keeping the golden-brown tones accurate.
*   **Consistency:** When shooting a menu, consistency is critical. Every item—whether it is a vada pav or a veggie puff—is shot with the same lighting angle and color grading, so your digital menu feels cohesive.
*   **Post-Production:** I perform standard cleanup, including crumb removal and minor color correction, so your menu images look clean enough to be printed or displayed on high-resolution smartphone screens.

My studio in Raj Nagar Extension is fully equipped for these sessions, but I also travel across Delhi-NCR and India for restaurant menu shoots.
