On the occasion of Daawat World Biryani Day, here's a campaign we're proud to have been a part of for Daawat—a brand that has celebrated biryani not just as a dish, but as an emotion shared across millions of homes.

Food styling for rice is one of the most challenging aspects of commercial food photography. Every grain has to look separate, perfectly cooked and naturally appetising while staying true to the authenticity of the dish.

Happy Daawat World Biryani Day to everyone who believes that every great biryani begins with great rice.

Every commercial photoshoot begins with a simple thought...

How do we make the viewer crave the product before they even taste it?

For this campaign with NIC Ice Creams, every frame was carefully planned—from sculpting the perfect scoop and styling the ingredients to balancing the packaging and creating a mood that celebrates each flavour.

Hope you enjoy this series as much as we enjoyed creating it.

In this food styling insight, I’m sharing a few subtle plating techniques that help create better depth, structure and visual appeal — the kind of details that often make the difference between an ordinary photo and a memorable one.

These aren't rules you'll find in a recipe book. They're observations gathered from years of styling food for advertising, packaging and commercial shoots.

Hope this insight helps elevate your next pasta presentation. Stay tuned for more food styling insights from behind the scenes of the industry.

Summer just got a lot more indulgent with Vadilal's newest launches — Pista Kunafa and Cafe Mocha.

For this TVC, the focus wasn't on elaborate styling, but on capturing what today's consumer truly relates to — convenience, accessibility and that irresistible first bite. The packaging played an equally important role as the product itself, showcasing how easily your favourite ice cream can go from pack to palate.

Set in a warm home environment, the film celebrates those simple moments of indulgence. A tear of the pack, a bite of the ice cream, and the expressions say it all. Sometimes, that's all it takes to communicate the joy of a great product.

Here's our food styling work for Vadilal's latest summer flavours.

World Milk Day feels like the perfect occasion to celebrate a brand that has been synonymous with milk for generations.

From childhood memories to family celebrations, Amul has been a part of countless moments across India. And when we had the opportunity to work on the Amul Kulfi TVC, the thought was simple — to celebrate the richness, purity and indulgence that begins with milk.

From creamy drips and luscious splashes to the different kulfi flavours that bring joy to every age group, every frame was crafted to highlight the goodness that has made Amul a household name for decades.

On World Milk Day, here's a look at one of our favourite production projects — the Amul Kulfi TVC.

Basil leaves are everywhere — in salads, pastas, pizzas, sandwiches and countless gourmet dishes. But they’re also one of the quickest herbs to wilt and lose their visual appeal during a shoot.

In this edition of the Green Leafy Series, I’m sharing one of the techniques we use on set to keep basil looking fresh, vibrant and full of life for longer hours. Sometimes, it’s these small insights that make the biggest difference to the final frame.

Hope this helps in your next shoot. Stay tuned for more food styling insights from years of hands-on experience behind the camera.

Hope this insight helps you in your next shoot. Stay tuned for more food styling and beverage styling insights from years behind the camera.

Keeping green leafy salads fresh through long shoot hours is not just about styling — it comes from understanding how ingredients behave over years of working with food on camera.

These are the kind of practical insights that don’t come from courses, webinars or classrooms, but from real shoot experience where every small detail changes the final frame.

In this video, I’m sharing one such approach that helps maintain freshness, texture and life in leafy greens during a shoot.

Stay tuned for more such food styling insights from years behind the camera.
