Location: Gurgaon/Delhi
Working Hours: This is a contractual, office-critical role based in our Gurgaon/Delhi culinary studio. To optimize collaboration with your American colleagues, your hours will be afternoon to evening, with 2-3 overlapping hours with U.S. Central Standard Time (CST).
About the role:
As the food photographer for Taste of Home, you will execute the Fast Track food photography operations, ensuring daily requirements are met. You will be a hands-on person photographing recipes both independently and as part of a team. Always keeping the TOH brand aesthetic in mind, you split your time between the studio kitchen and photo set, where you help in styling dishes and photographing recipes that will be live on site within days. Reporting to the Head of Studio, you use your technical know-how and styling sensibilities to make our high-performing recipes shine.
About you:
Fueled by your passion for visual storytelling and a desire to inspire, you’re a highly creative individual with a strong drive for meaningful (and fun!) work. With a diverse skill set and proven potential, you’re well-equipped to handle the many facets of this role. Adaptable and self-motivated, you consistently strive to produce the highest-quality content.
As an emerging food enthusiast and photographer, you’ve shown a clear commitment to mastering creative principles, embracing new challenges, and learning from experienced professionals. You’re confident shooting recipes while upholding the integrity of the original Taste of Home instructions and maintaining the brand’s aesthetic and visual continuity.
Collaborative by nature, you understand the value of teamwork in a fast-paced environment and know how to bring content to life across multiple platforms. You’re energized and excited to be part of a dynamic setting—surrounded by others who share your passion (and healthy obsession!) for all things food.
