§ 002 — The Philosophy

Visual storytelling that bridges the space between taste and sight.

Kripa Prajapati is a Mumbai-based commercial photographer and food stylist crafting high-fidelity imagery for restaurants, hotels, FMCG labels and advertising agencies across India and abroad.

A decade behind the camera, an obsession for slow light, and a background in styling — every plate treated as a still life, every ingredient as a character in the frame.

§ 005 — Process

Six steps, from first light to final file.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A conversation about brand, audience and appetite. We agree on tone, references and success measures.

  2. 02

    Planning

    Shot list, prop palette, location and crew are locked. Sourcing begins for hero ingredients and surfaces.

  3. 03

    Food Styling

    On-set hand-styling — plating, garnishes, moisture, steam. Every element considered against the frame.

  4. 04

    Photography

    Medium-format capture with tethered review. Natural or controlled light, tuned to the brand's temperature.

  5. 05

    Editing

    Careful colour, texture and skin work. Selects graded to a single, cohesive visual language.

  6. 06

    Delivery

    Print-ready TIFFs and web-optimised assets, delivered with usage guidance for every channel.
