Taste the Lens: India on a Plate
In India, food is more than just flavor—it’s culture, memory, and emotion beautifully served on a plate. “Taste the Lens” invites you to capture this vibrant diversity through your photography. Whether it’s a steaming plate of momos or the lively buzz of a chaat stall, your images can bring these flavors to life for thousands. Before you head out with your camera, keep these 4 tips in mind to elevate your photography skills and make every shot count.

Master Your Camera Settings: Learn how to manually control aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Understanding these basics lets you creatively control exposure and depth of field.

Practice Composition Techniques: Use rules like the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing to create more balanced and engaging photos.

Experiment with Lighting: Study natural and artificial light. Try shooting during golden hour or use reflectors and diffusers to shape your subject’s appearance.

Edit Thoughtfully: Learn photo editing software like Lightroom or Photoshop to enhance your images without overdoing it—adjust exposure, contrast, and colors to bring out the best in your shots.
