In my Navi Mumbai home studio, I avoid grand sets, focusing instead on textures like rustic wood and vintage fabrics to create a scene. Whether it is a bowl of soup or a packaged snack, I ensure the story behind the food comes through in every frame. My approach centers on making food look real, not just perfect. I shoot using a Canon EOS M50 Mark II with a 50mm prime lens, which allows for that soft, shallow depth of field. My studio setup is flexible, relying on a Godox softbox for consistent commercial work, or natural window light for that cozy, morning-sun aesthetic that works so well for cafes. ### My Photography Process I handle a wide range of needs, from bright and airy menu catalog shots—ideal for Swiggy, Zomato, or Amazon listings—to moody, dramatic scenes for social media content. - **For Cafes:** I focus on making your signature dishes look appetizing and fresh. - **For Food Brands:** I create packshots and styled product images that highlight quality, using props to provide context without cluttering the frame. - **For Creative Projects:** I can do composite work, including motion shots and floating ingredients, to help your campaign stand out. I believe you do not need expensive, elaborate sets to make an impact. I use my own inventory of props, including antique cutlery and textured backdrops, to build a unique mood for every shoot. I am based in Navi Mumbai but am happy to accept products shipped from anywhere in India. If you have a vision, we can work together to bring it to life. ## About Ayesha Ahmad I am Ayesha, a mother and a photographer who believes every dish has a kahani (story).
