What it covers

Food Photography Built for Where Your Content Is Actually Seen

Studio-quality food photography in Mumbai that makes dishes look the way they taste. Styled, lit and edited for menus, delivery apps and social media.

Because our founders come from hospitality, every shot list is planned for where the content will actually perform, and every shoot is run around live service instead of against it. Styling, lighting, shooting and editing are all handled in-house so colour, quality and turnaround stay consistent across every deliverable.

Our film

We Hated Agencies. So We Started One.

“We hate agencies. So that is why we started one.”

In 2015 we ran a chain of restaurants in Mumbai, won awards and got written up in the papers. What it really taught us was how to grow and market a hospitality brand. So we built the agency we had wanted as owners: account managers, social media managers, video editors, graphic designers and photographers, all under one roof.

The honest comparison

Why Hospitality Brands Choose MK Studio for Food Photography

Hundreds of photographers will shoot your work. Very few run the shoot the way a hospitality business actually needs it run. Here is how MK Studio compares with a typical freelance photographer and a generic photo studio.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does food photography cost in Mumbai?
Food photography in Mumbai costs INR 18,000 to INR 35,000 at MK Studio depending on the package. The Starter package at INR 18,000 covers a 1-day shoot with 10 to 12 dishes and 20 to 25 edited images. The Signature package at INR 35,000 covers a 2-day shoot with 20 to 25 dishes, 50 to 60 edited images and ambience coverage. Raw footage is included in both.
How many dishes can be covered in a one-day food shoot?
10 to 12 dishes is the realistic standard for a properly styled one-day shoot. Each dish needs plating, styling, lighting adjustments and multiple angles. Studios promising 30 dishes in a day are skipping the styling that makes the images worth paying for.
Is food styling included or extra?
Food styling is included in every MK Studio package. Our team handles plating guidance, propping and on-set styling as part of the shoot, so your kitchen only needs to cook.
Do you shoot at our restaurant or only in a studio?
Both. We shoot on location at restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune and Nashik, and in studio settings when a controlled setup suits the dishes better. The shoot plan recommends the right approach for your menu.
Can we use the photos on Zomato, Swiggy, Instagram and ads?
Yes. Images are delivered for your brand's marketing use across delivery platforms, social media, menus, your website and advertising, and we export files sized for each channel.
How should we prepare for the shoot day?
You only need to prepare the dishes on the confirmed shot list. Before the shoot we share a written plan covering the dish sequence, plating notes and timing, and we coordinate directly with your chef so dishes come out in the right order and hold their look under lights.
Do we get videos with a photography package?
Raw footage is included in every photography package. Edited reels and brand videos are part of our Food Videography packages starting at INR 22,500, and the two are often combined in a single shoot day to save cost.
