About Food & Beverage Photography
Why Food Photos Matter
I get that a photo isn’t just about showing what’s on a plate - it’s about sparking memories and making people feel something. I chase that feeling where aroma, story, and nostalgia meet. If you’re after restaurant menu photography or want your packaged food to stand out, I’m here to help your brand connect with people, not just their eyes.
What I Do
- Social media food visuals that stop thumbs and get people talking
- Product shoots for packaged foods and drinks with a vibe that fits your brand
- Imagery for delivery platforms that’s bright, clear, and gets orders
- Creative ad campaign shots that aren’t just pretty, but have a story
How I Work
I start by really listening to your brand’s story. Then, I handle everything - from concepts, food styling, props, and art direction. Shoot days get messy, but it’s that chaos where the magic happens. Sometimes it’s all about moody food imagery for drama, other times it’s minimalist setups so the food just pops.
What Inspires Me
Honestly, I find real joy in bringing memories to life - like the zing of Nani’s kairi (raw mango) or the comfort of Jhunka Bhakar (gram flour dish with flatbread) on a chulha (clay stove). I want your food’s soul to shine through in every shot.

My Story
Food’s never just food for us. It’s a whiff of summer at Nani’s, Alphonso mangoes, kairi, kitchen songs. We chase that feeling in every project. Even when we travel, like that Ratnagiri trip, eating Bhakri and Thecha by the chulha, real Maharashtrian style. Those honest moments shape how we style – not what’s trendy, but what feels true. That’s the heart behind our setups.
