More than a blog my Instagram feed is all about food styling and photography. The most important factor that I appreciate about different food cultures is definitely their flavour, textures, colour etc. I absolutely love and appreciate how some restaurants experiment and come up with some great varieties of fusion food culture.
Tell us about your background and journey.
I am basically a Dentist, 3 years back when my husband gifted me a DSLR little did I know that I could actually turn my accidental passion into a profession. I was in KSA and expatriate dentists were not allowed to work as per the rules there. That is when I utilised most of my free time to learn the basics of camera settings and how to properly use them. Within a month I got the basics done but then the next constraint was my subject to shoot and that is when the food that I cooked came to my rescue.
This actually helped me a lot about lighting and styling food and slowly, gradually I started getting hold of food styling and photography. I initially started taking workshops for beginners in Food styling and photography. My first workshop was in Kochi, Kerala… I started getting more n more enquiries for workshop…people started recognising my work and then I started getting more clients enquiries for product and restaurant shoots. I have now shot for around 20+ brands and restaurants both here in India and KSA.
Me being an Indian I would always love to style and shoot traditional Indian cuisines with all those rustic dark and moody feel .
Should food blogging be just a passion or can it become a regular career?
Food blogging can definitely be taken as a serious career as per the current market scenario coz the world revolves around food and people are always ready to spend and experiment on different cuisines.
What makes you appreciate a particular dish or a restaurant and talk about it on your blog?
More than a blog my Instagram feed is all about food styling and photography. The most important factor that I appreciate about different food cultures is definitely their flavour, textures, colour etc. I absolutely love and appreciate how some restaurants experiment and come up with some great varieties of fusion food culture. Even though these are some of the most challenging food to style and shoot I totally enjoy shoot them.
Again it’s definitely anything and everything Indian and continental .
