About Food & Product Photography & Videography
Why I Do What I Do
Food isn’t just something you eat - it’s feeling hai yaar (it’s a feeling, buddy). Every time I shoot, I remember my dad peeling mangoes, my amma’s soft idlis, and paati’s unbeatable medu vadai. That’s the magic I try to capture in my work: not just the look, but the real story and nostalgia behind each bite.
What I Offer
I’m a food stylist who brings your food and products to life with photos and videos that feel warm, inviting, and honest. I work with restaurants, food brands, cloud kitchens, and cookbook writers, aiming for visuals that make people hungry and connect with their memories.
How I Shoot
- I shoot everything from South Indian breakfasts and North Indian biryani to continental plates, desserts, and drinks.
- Packaged product shoots are my thing too - I set up scenes where your ghee, ice cream, or protein bar fits right into real life.
- I’m into atmospheric food videos that show the vibe and process, plus recipe reel creation for step-by-step, easy-to-follow content. I also love quirky stop-motion bits for Insta.
My Style & Extra Bits
Styling is key - I use props, old brass vessels, fresh produce, and set moods ranging from bright and happy to dramatic and rustic. Sometimes, I add baarish aur chai (rain and tea) feels, just for that extra touch. If you need original recipes, I test and write those too.
Who I’ve Worked With
My work’s been featured by organic food brands, biryani chains, dessert shops, supplement companies, and cafes in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

My Story
Food is my language, honestly. I grew up chasing the smell of ghee wafting from the kitchen, asking Amma what’s for lunch. Summer’s about mangoes, Kishore Kumar on the radio, and my dad handing us juicy bits while keeping the seeds for himself. Watching Amma and Paati cook together, sharing old recipes, is pure joy. I miss home food like crazy, and that’s what I try to capture – not just dishes, but the feeling they bring.
