I conceptualise, I style, I shoot, I create!

Food / Product Stylist & Photographer in Gurgaon, India

I bring your products to life, to help them stand out in this increasingly crowded space. I use lifestyle styling skills, sometimes editorial in nature, with deep aesthetics, a play of colour, textures and light. I style on location for shoots, and somewhat minimally, I style and shoot in my own space albeit on rare occasions. There’s a mix of both styling & photography you can see below.

Shooting in natural light only is something that I absolutely love, a skill I have honed over time. While that might be restrictive at times as I chase the best light of the day, my belief is that natural light is the best and creative work should never be rushed. I take my time, styling & shooting, sometimes restyling and reshooting till I get it right. I absolutely love what I do!

While food and dessert styling & photography is what I began doing, I’ve styled my fair share of products that are not edible yet take my creative touch easily. Pottery, restaurant menu shoots, kitchenware, tea, appliances, skin care, hair care, Ayurveda, jewellery, cookbook styling & photographylifestyle products is some of what I’ve done. If I think it’s something I enjoy, I’ll give it my best!
