modern Indian kitchen

2023 // Delhi, India

every YouTube channel’s favourite stock website Storyblocks wanted to create a stock-footage set, the theme of which was ‘the modern Indian kitchen’ and we were brought in for the execution, but not without deploying our own Neo-Indian cinematic lens. we setup a moody dinner scene to get the most drama out of our lighting and planned a massive set of rushes which brought together a family of 5 to the table but the majority of which stayed in the kitchen around a somewhat overworked mother. we like to think the set came out out well-seasoned, balanced and usably authentic. here's the link, for you gastronomic pleasure //
