Food Photography

Food photography is arguably one of the most challenging categories of photography for me, because my ultimate target is to capture its texture, taste and smell in a way that the end viewer salivates just looking at it. Presentation is the key in such pictures and I love playing with the different elements of food (or sometimes its alias). From restaurants like Sula’s Vinoteca to caterers like Ice Apple to hotels and home chefs, I’ve captured pictures that are not just appealing visually but also titillating for the taste buds.
