Role you're checking

Food Photographer

Creator

Food Photographers in India shoot for restaurant chains, Zomato/Swiggy menu listings, packaged food brands, cookbook publishers, and editorial food media — making ingredients, plated dishes, and food environments look edible and aspirational on camera. The role requires collaboration with a food stylist (who makes the food camera-ready) and often a prop stylist (who sources surfaces, cutlery, and linens), while the photographer controls light, composition, and post-processing. The India market has two distinct tracks: commercial (Zomato partner shoots, brand campaigns for Mamaearth, Yoga Bar, ITC, or Nestlé, packaged-goods catalogue work) and editorial/cookbook (Sanjeev Kapoor cookbooks, Kunal Kapur recipes for HarperCollins India, Condé Nast Traveller India food features). A growing food-blogger crossover track sees photographers shooting for Instagram and YouTube food creators — lower day rates but steady volume.
