## About Restaurant & Fine Dining

I bring a tethered laptop setup to every on-location shoot, allowing us to review images in real-time as we work. This means you can check plating, steam, and lighting on a large screen immediately, ensuring we nail the perfect shot before moving to the next dish on your menu.

Great restaurant photography is about more than just lighting the food. It is about capturing the story behind the menu. Whether your space is dark and intimate or bright and lively, I tailor my approach to suit your establishment.

### My Process
Every shoot begins with a pre-production consultation. We will define a shot list, discuss mood boards, and ensure we have a clear creative direction. This prevents wastage and ensures we capture signature dishes alongside key ambient shots of your interiors.

### The Role of Collaboration
I believe in teamwork. I often work alongside food stylists to bring out textures like the crunch in a salad or the gloss on a sauce. While I focus on lighting and camera angles, the food styling ensures the plate looks perfect for the lens. If you do not have an in-house stylist, I can coordinate with one to ensure the food looks appetising and professional.

### Technical Precision
I use high-end Broncolor or Profoto lighting systems. These allow me to freeze motion—perfect for action shots like pouring sauces or garnishing—and ensure the colors of your ingredients pop accurately. I also focus on texture extraction, making sure elements like the steam from a hot curry or the crispness of a crust look tangible and inviting.

### Flexibility
I am available for on-location shoots across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area and Pune. Whether you are launching a new fine dining concept or updating your cafe menu for social media, I am equipped to handle the shoot at your venue.

## About Sakina Zojwala
