For these modern plates, I work closely with professional food stylists to ensure every garnish and sauce placement is intentional before I touch the camera. It is the only way to get those vibrant, clean images where textures like delicate dumpling skins or fresh greens pop exactly as they should under my studio lighting. ### How I Shoot Modern Plates Modern plating requires a different approach than traditional rustic food photography. When I shoot contemporary cuisine, my focus is on clean lines, bright or soft lighting, and sharp details. I rely on my 100mm macro lens for these sessions to capture the tiny, significant details that make a dish appealing—the condensation on a fresh ingredient, the texture of a steamed dim sum, or the vibrant color of a garnish. This is not just about taking a photo of food; it is about highlighting the precision of the kitchen. ### The Collaborative Process I view food photography as a team effort. My process for this style involves: * **Planning:** We first discuss your menu and your brand aesthetic. Are we going for a bright, airy look or a high-contrast modern feel? * **Styling:** I usually collaborate with a food stylist for these shoots. They handle the plate adjustments, flower placement, and garnish levels so I can focus on lighting and composition. * **Technical Execution:** For modern plates, I often use a 2-point softbox setup. This eliminates harsh shadows and keeps the focus entirely on the dish. I shoot against minimalist backgrounds—usually white, grey, or neutral wood textures—to ensure the food remains the hero of the image. ### Getting Your Images Ready My goal is to deliver images that are ready to use immediately. Whether you need content for Zomato, Swiggy, your website, or your social media channels, I provide high-resolution, color-corrected JPEGs. I understand the requirements of food aggregators, so I ensure the images are evenly lit and framed to comply with their standard guidelines. If you are a restaurant or cafe in Delhi NCR looking to update your menu visuals with a modern, fresh look, let’s talk about your specific plating style. ## About Gaurav I'm Gaurav. For me, food photography is about translating the effort a chef puts into a dish into a visual that looks as good as it tastes. I bring my camera, lighting kit, and years of experience to restaurants and cafes across Delhi NCR to capture everything from delicate dim sums to complex plating setups.
