Have you ever taken a photo and thought -“Ughh! that looks dull”“Why does my photo look flat”“That food does not look delicious”“Why doesn’t my photo pop” “Ok, that looks good but I wish it was better” “Gosh!

Few years ago I received an enquiry from a brand for a cookbook photoshoot. They had seen my work and wanted to know more about my process and also my rates for the project. I shrieked. I mean who doesn’t want to shoot a cookbook. Almost every photographer dreams of it. I did too. I was excited reading that email.But there was a minor problem. I had never done a cookbook shoot before. I had absolutely no idea what the process looked like and how I was supposed to charge for it. I mean it wasn’t a

Ever dreamt of shooting a cookbook?How would you feel seeing your work in print?How would you feel if you opened a cookbook and found your photos on large pages staring right back at you?I don’t think I’ve ever met a photographer who didn’t want to see their work in print, who wasn’t excited by the thought of photographing a cookbook and creating memories not only special for the author of the cookbook but also for themselves. That feeling is pretty priceless, I’ll say. And while that feeling might

I don’t know which camera to buy.Is this lens worth the cost?Should I go for flash or continuous lights?Deciding on which camera equipment to buy is never easy. It almost always comes down to our budget and whether it’s worth the investment. Have you ever bought a piece of gear and found that it wasn’t really worth buying, didn't improve your photography or was too inconvenient to use?

A few weeks ago someone on social media commented on one of my posts saying that in their opinion they didn’t believe that food photography could ever be a full-time career, that it could be profitable or be taken up professionally.I didn’t say much to this because we are all welcome to have our opinions and unfortunately, this is a common opinion about our industry.But between you and me, I completely disagree.In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing in the world that cannot be a full-time

Would you like more followers on social media?More likes?More engagement?YES?Almost everyone wishes they had a larger following on social media. Infact, there are courses in the market on “How to get 300k followers in 30 days.”Sounds tempting, right?Who wouldn't want a larger community?

Have you ever bought a course, and then left it for some or the other reason without completing it? Have you ever bought a course, completed it but it never really gave you results.

When we are exploring food photography as a hobby, pursuing it only for the joy of it, we create photos that speak to us, that portray our interpretation of the art.And in that process of exploring, somewhere along the way we start creating a specific style of photos.For some, it is minimalistic photography. For some, they’re large compositions.For some, it is harsh light only.For some, they’re monochromatic colors.We all have a different artistic expression in our photography and we take pride in

Don’t you love it when someone says, “This photo reminds me of how my mom cooked.” “Your photo made me go and bake a chocolate cake.”“I can literally taste it just by looking at the photo.”These words are the result of the emotion your photo evokes in a viewer. As food photographers, we want to create photos that not only look beautiful but connect with the viewer at a deep emotional level. When viewers connect with a photo, they see the story, they interpret the art, and feel like they’ve been
