What we do
Food shot for menus, delivery apps and walls
A picture is worth a thousand words, and we know just how true that is where food is concerned. Our Bangalore-based food photographers make your dishes look the way they should to a customer deciding what to order.
Shot indoors and outdoors, the pictures are worked at the right angles and with creative presentation so they read fresh and colourful. We can shoot wide, close, or against any background you want. We treat the food as the subject and give it an artistic touch — clear photographs are not enough on their own; it takes a little creativity to make them appetising.
Our expertise in restaurant photography extends across India, from north-western Indian food to South Indian delicacies. We photograph the cuisines of each of the states, and we also work in food videography, content production and digital marketing for restaurants.
Whether you are opening a new restaurant or making an existing menu more appealing, we can help. We design custom menu covers with high-resolution photographs that look appetising enough to draw customers in.
How we shoot a plate
Four things do most of the work on a food shoot.
A top-down view is a good way to show a pizza, a burger or a photogenic drink. We move around and shoot from several angles so you have the option of picking your favourite later — from above, from the side, or at forty-five degrees for the hero shot.
Food photography should make the viewer hungry. A background can add atmosphere, but it should never put the food in an unappetising setting. We remove utensils, napkins and anything else that adds nothing, and get close enough that the viewer can tell exactly what they are looking at.
Exposure control is one of the most critical issues on a food shoot. We take particular care over lighting, testing and reading the results rather than guessing, because the difference between appetising and grey is usually half a stop.
It is a mistake to stay in one spot. Shooting from a single position makes photographs look predictable, so we move around the space and bring portable lighting where the room does not offer enough of its own.

The pictures we received were very nice. The photographer captured all the beautiful, educational and fun moments of the day. The editing of the pictures made those even more beautiful. Besides that the service of PhotoBangalore was very good; they arrived on time at the venue and shared the pictures very quickly. We would really like to work with them in the future as well.

The photographs we take on a restaurant shoot are made for hospitality brands, to be used across social media and on your own website. The shoots are quick and you do not have to compromise on quality to get that.
Not at all — the more people in the restaurant, the better the atmosphere reads. It is still worth getting the photographer in before opening. All we need is a small area with good light and a few power outlets.
