Photography | Styling | Art Direction | Rental for Studio, Props, Backdrops and Dishware
The studio was founded by Aalok, who was in the midst of writing his cookbook (still under process!) and taking photos for it - this led to a few cameras, some equipment, lights, an abundance of ceramics and a team of crazy passionate people at a cozy studio located in Indiranagar. In the past years, we’ve progressed into taking food photos from clients everywhere- from grandmothers kitchens who are selling their secret recipes or big giants like kingfisher.
We dive deep into photography and would love to put your recipes “in motion“ if you like. Our mission is to develop into a collective of artists related to all things food- photographers, stylist, bloggers, videographers, chefs, etc. It’s our experiences and knowledge of food and products that assure our clients are happy with our work. We are your one-stop source for your food photography needs.
Aalok Das
DIRECTOR / PHOTOGRAPHER
It all began for Aalok when he started thinking of making something more than Maggie in University. This gave him the idea of writing a step by step photo oriented cookbook for amateurs which led him to learning both photography and cooking. Cut to a couple of years down the line, Aalok ended up merging both of his passions and brought 4burner.studio to life. You can look up some sample recipes on his website - www.looklearncook.com.
