I use props like textured fabrics, vintage books, and fresh garnishes to build a scene that feels like home, not a sterile, commercial setup. ### My Approach to Beverage Styling I believe the best photos tell a story before the viewer even takes a sip. In my Navi Mumbai studio, I control the environment to create specific moods. For cozy vibes, I lean into dark, moody lighting and use props like antique-style cutlery and wood boards to mimic a quiet cafe corner. When the brief calls for something energetic, I switch to high-speed photography to freeze dynamic pours or ice-cube splashes, creating a vibrant, high-key look perfect for social media ads or menu covers. ### Technical Expertise Every shot is captured on my Canon EOS M50 Mark II with a 50mm prime lens, which allows me to get that soft, blurred background that makes the drink the hero. Depending on the weather and the mood, I use a single Godox softbox or natural window light. Post-production is done with Lightroom and Snapseed to ensure the colors are true-to-life—especially important for food and drink where color triggers the appetite. ### For Your Business I offer two main ways to work together: * **Styled Social Media Packages:** These are 4-5 hour sessions where we focus on storytelling. We will use 3-4 distinct setups with my personal inventory of props to create content that feels authentic to your brand. * **Menu & Catalog Shots:** If you need clean, consistent images for platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, or your own website, I provide high-quality, high-key photography. We focus on two angles—front-facing packaging or serving suggestions—to make sure your product looks fresh and consistent across the board. If you have a specific vision or a complex levitation shot in mind, let's chat. I am always happy to experiment with new ways to make your beverage look as delicious as it tastes. ## About Ayesha Ahmad I'm Ayesha, and I believe a great beverage photo captures the feeling of the drink, not just the glass. I work from my home studio in Navi Mumbai, where I keep my setups real and relatable—just like a cup of tea on a rainy day.
