I shot this succulent and crispy Saffron Jalebi when I was new in the field of food photography and unaware of the basic tricks and techniques.
FOOD STYLING & PHOTOGRAPHY IDEAS :
- SET UP: Create an imaginary set up in your mind before starting the styling. I presented these Jalebis in a silver tray as Jalebis are identified as traditional sweets. Silver tray is giving it the festive or traditional vibes.
- BACKDROP: These Jalebis might have looked better on a wooden textured backdrop. As this was my beginning of food photography and not having any backdrop, I used a leftover piece of wardrobe Sunmica Sheet.
- PROPS and DECORATION: I used the props according to my food theme. To give my plating a festive or traditional vibe, I kept flower, dry fruits and an orange cloth beside it.
It was difficult for me to control the cravings for this saffron jalebi while clicking the pic. The love for these melt in mouth Jalebis can’t be put in words.
Amidst lockdown the world was going through a hard time and people were avoiding going outside. Those were challenging days for all of us. Self care was the most important thing and home cooked food was the preference. My mom made these Jalebis during lockdown and luckily it came out well in the very first attempt. All her efforts paid off as everyone at our home loved the irresistible taste of Jalebis. Mildly sweetened and adequately succulent Jalebi with the robust flavour of desi ghee and goodness of saffron.
