VIDYA RADA
​
Hi, I am Vidya. I am a food and product photographer living in London. After doing street and travel photography for a few years, I got into food photography since 2019.
I initially started on a project 365, with an intention to try a new thing every day. A few weeks into it, I ran out of ideas. Then stumbled upon the idea of food photography, and it turned out to be the perfect niche for me. As there have been endless photo subjects to capture in my kitchen on any given day.
It was a bit frustrating trying to learn food photography, as everything I read online seemed to have been shot with flash and with many elements in the frame. That did not fit into my idea of food photography being minimal and clean. I then decided to try and learn from my own ways and discover my own unique style in the process.
