About Food & Beverage Photography
I'm all about making food look as good as it tastes. Every shoot is about catching the little stories hidden in every dish - the effort, the colours, that tempting texture. I want people to almost smell and crave what they see.
How I Work
I believe food photography is a team sport. Before I start shooting, I sit down with you to figure out what you're really after. Your vibe, your crowd, what you want folks to feel when they see your food - we chat about all of it. Usually, I rope in a food stylist so every chutney drip and garnish lands just right. No half-baked setups.
What I Shoot
I'm based out of Delhi NCR, and I've worked with restaurants, home bakers, cafes, and brands. My shots cover:
- restaurant menu photography - from dal makhani to fusion rolls
- cafe social media photos - those bright, snacky, Insta-ready images
- product packaging photography - like honey jars or tea boxes, styled to stand out
- macro food shots for specialty cuisine - think close-ups of momos, flaky croissants, even mithai
My Style
Every brand has its own flavour. Some like it dark and dramatic, some want clean and airy. I switch it up depending on your mood board. If you want rustic feels, I'll go moody. Need fresh and modern? I keep it bright.
The Real Deal
I won't lie - every photo takes time. Getting that perfect shot means patience. I've put in years of practice, and I bring all that focus (plus a bit of jugaad) to every shoot. If you want real, mouth-watering images, I'm here for it.

My Story
Hi, I’m Gaurav. Delhi NCR is home, and my camera is pretty much my second pair of eyes. People think that perfect shot just happens, but honestly, it’s years of chasing light, angles, and stories. I get a kick out of finding that vibe—whether it’s a plate of food, a fresh outfit, or a cool office space. For me, it’s all about capturing the real feel, not just snapping pics.
My Work
Photography Services - I shoot modern product photography, natural food photography, clean fashion campaigns, model portfolios, and commercial interior photography.
Your Vision, My Lens - First, I listen. Your brand, your story. Then I work to make it real through my lens.
Polished & Ready Photos - I deliver clean, commercial images ready for your website or social media—high-quality lighting and styling always.
Studio or Outdoor Shoots - I’m good with studio setups for crisp looks or outdoor shots for that lifestyle brand shoot vibe.
