In food shots, style sells. Gurugram menus skew clean and high-contrast for delivery, while bars love moody frames. Bhumika Sawhney does sharp, scroll-stopping menu images; Kaushik Banerjee brings dramatic lighting and action pours; Shivani Issar balances honest, appetizing frames with reels. On myTribe, share your mood board and cuisine. We’ll match you to a photographer who’s fluent in your vibe, not just the genre.
Know your budget and deliverables
Budgets vary by scope and pricing model. Expect 4k–20k per shoot for cafes; premium campaigns go 25k+. Per-image models like Rohit Verma (₹500–₹3,000/image) suit big menus; per-dish models like Kaushik Banerjee (₹5k–₹15k/dish) suit hero items. Half-day studio options like Ishan Agarwal Photography (₹25k, ~4 hours) fit product lines. Confirm inclusions—styling, props, tethered preview, number of retouched images. myTribe compares apples to apples.
Studio or on-location in Gurugram
Packaging or beverages? A controlled studio wins. Ishan Agarwal Photography operates a Gurgaon studio with tethered review; Briteshot Studio even has a kitchen setup. Shooting at CyberHub or Golf Course Road outlets? Shivani Issar is comfortable on-location across NCR. In Gurugram traffic, plan tight: stagger dish prep, ensure power backup, and aim for 10–1 or 3–6 light windows. myTribe coordinates logistics and access.
Plan for Zomato, Insta, and ads
Zomato needs clean, consistent hero shots—think Bhumika Sawhney. Instagram wants lifestyle and motion—splashes, steam, hands-in-frame; Chandra Pictures nails product-plus-lifestyle sets. For ad-level hero frames and packaging, Abhishek Khanna is meticulous with studio lighting and retouching. Share your channel mix on myTribe; we’ll structure shot lists, ratios (menu vs reels), and approvals so you don’t end up with pretty photos that don’t convert.
