Deepika Soni is the Founder and the Artist behind the lens at Photo Culinaire Studio. She is a former human rights attorney turned fervent culinary photographer. Her passion for both – the science and the art of photography inspired her extraordinary transition from the law and policy to food photography. Deepika specializes in producing experiential, sensory-driven, vivid imagery that invites viewers to fully engage with a brand’s story. Her style is characterized by boldness, yet remains uncluttered.

To Deepika, photography is one of the greatest of arts. From a young age, photography captured her heart, and she always dreamed of blending her passion with entrepreneurship. Hence, Photo Culinaire Studio was born in late 2022.

A Worldwide Palette: Having lived abroad and travelled extensively, Deepika approaches her craft with a global perspective, recognizing and respecting the common language of food.

Whether you are a brand, restaurateur, cookbook author, publisher, chef, food blogger, or other food related business, we aim to exceed your expectations in terms of visual storytelling.

The Goal: Our goal is to lead the way in food photography industry, and establish the highest standards for originality, quality, and creativity. We are dedicated to what truly counts - client satisfaction!

Deepika is also a proud member of Professional Photographers of America, and has worked with a variety of clients, and is constantly seeking new ways to push the boundaries of her craft, and find innovative methods of making food shine in photos. When she is not working, Deepika enjoys traveling the world, reading, biking in Central Park, and experimenting with food with her loved ones.
