My passion for photographing food is quite old, I don't set any rules or techniques for it. I used to take pictures just for my hobby and when I started sharing my food pictures and video clips on social media, people really appreciated it. And so I started getting approached for food photography.
In the beginning, I used to carry my portable studio, backgrounds, lights and DSLR camera. But after some time I realised, most of these images are used on websites or social media.
May call it my laziness or the client's low budget. I started offering smartphone camera food photography services to clients.
Surprisingly, people appreciated this work more. Earlier my pre and post production was very time consuming. But now by taking photos from the mobile and editing the photos in the mobile app itself, I can deliver in a very short time.
I was recently asked to film a web video for Kebabland, a local restaurant known for its delicious food. While I was there, I took the opportunity to take some photographs of the menu with my OnePlus 9 Pro Smartphone. Kebabland Restaurant is located at Solsidan in Nacka Kommun, just down stairs from Solsidan station.
During my visit I discovered that Kebabland is the ideal location for schoolchildren and commuters to get a quick meal. Kebabs, burgers, and pizza are among the classic Turkish cuisine that are offered on his menu.
For a while I was a fan of the Samsung Galaxy smartphone camera, but my photographer friend Naveed Abbas Memon told me about the OnePlus and he said it has Hasselblad camera lineage. Indeed he was right, the OnePlus has a great camera that offers excellent image quality and versatile shooting modes. It's perfect for capturing food photos like the ones I took at Kebabland. The results are sharp and vibrant, and the phone's advanced editing features make it easy to get just the right look.
