Behind the Scenes at Lost And Hungry Studios
We are not just a production house. We are a team of 40 driven by the hunger to make food look its absolute best. Take a look at how we turn chaos into content.
This is where it all began for the new studio. This video documents our journey and the 80 lakh rupee investment we're making to build a 7 crore food content business. We're taking you along for the ride.

About this collection
When you step into our studio or have us on your location, you get more than just a camera crew. You get a dedicated stylist who ensures every cheese pull, sauce drizzle, and garnish sits exactly where it should before we ever hit record. It is this obsession with the minute details that turns a regular menu item into the hero shot your brand needs to stop the scroll.
Eight years ago, I started by shooting with one camera in my parents' living room. Today, Lost And Hungry Studios operates out of a 2,500 square foot facility in Mumbai with a 40-person crew. We invested heavily in this space because we realized that to create food content that truly stands out, you need the right environment.
Our Process
We do not believe in just setting up a tripod and clicking. Our process is a blend of creative strategy and technical precision. For every project, we start with a mood board to define the lighting, color palette, and textures. We use professional 4K cinema line cameras, motorized sliders, and macro lenses to capture those dynamic moments that make food look appetizing, like a perfect steam rise or a cocktail pour.
More Than Just Food Photography
While we specialize in food photography in Mumbai, we understand that a brand is built by its people. We frequently work with restaurants and bars to capture portraits of chefs, bartenders, and staff in their element. Whether it is the intense energy of a professional kitchen at Yauatcha or a relaxed afternoon tea shoot, we capture the human element behind the culinary craft.
Why We Do It
At the end of the day, we are hungry to make food look mad good. We handle everything from catalog shoots for aggregators to high-end social media reels. If you need a partner who understands the business side of content—the timelines, the consistency, and the sheer grit required to build a brand—we are ready to start shooting.
Lost And Hungry Studios
I am Vinayak, the founder of Lost And Hungry Studios. I started this in my parents' living room eight years ago, and today I lead a team of 40 that treats every project like a massive production. We do not just photograph food; we live to tell the story of the people, the kitchens, and the brands behind it.
