About Me
Amrita Diwanji is a London-based photographer specialising in food, drink and still life, working with leading brands across food, beverage and hospitality. With over a decade of experience, she brings an international perspective and a considered visual approach to commercial campaigns and brand storytelling. Her clients include Condé Nast Traveller, the Taj Group, Singapore Airlines, EL&N and Pasta Evangelists, with her work recognised by the World Food Photography Awards (formerly Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year Awards) and featured in leading international publications.
Amrita creates thoughtful, evocative imagery that captures the essence of a brand while bringing its story to life. Her approach combines a sensitivity to composition, texture and colour with an understanding of the creative and commercial objectives behind each project.
Since establishing her business in London, Amrita has collaborated with an eclectic mix of established brands and emerging businesses. Her work for EL&N London has been rolled out across print campaigns in the U.K., France, Germany and several international markets. She has also collaborated with fast-growing industry disruptors such as Pasta Evangelists and photographed the winning dish of Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars, as seen on the BBC, as well as shot campaigns for market leaders like HG Walter. Her work for Action Against Hunger has been featured across Waitrose stores in the UK. She has also produced photography for seed-funding campaigns that have collectively raised over £200,000.
Amrita’s photographs have appeared in publications including Vogue, Condé Nast Traveller, Design Anthology, Elle Décor, Forbes and The Times of India. She has received ‘Commended Place’ at the World Food Photography Awards in 2017, 2019 and 2021, and was featured among Peerspace’s Top 5 Still Life Photographers in London in 2026.
Growing up in a country as culturally diverse as India, she was exposed to an abundance of regional cuisine and vibrant festivals from a very young age - the same vibrancy is visible in the colours and hues of her photographs today. After nearly a decade of working with leading food, product and hospitality brands in Bombay, she moved to London in 2021. Today, the city’s creative energy and cultural diversity continue to inform her perspective, alongside the international influences she has gathered throughout her career.
Amrita’s career is shaped by a diverse professional background and a longstanding passion for visual storytelling. After studying Psychology at the University of York and Human Resource Management at the London School of Economics, Amrita began her career in management consulting, working across Paris, London and Bombay. A growing desire to pursue her creativity led her away from the corporate world and towards photography, and in 2014 she founded Amrita Diwanji Photography. Early recognition in the Lonely Planet London and KAYAK photography competitions affirmed this direction, while a workshop with a leading food photographer in Lyon, France, helped cement her interest in the art of photographing food.
Inspired by travel, people and the ever-evolving world of food, Amrita takes the time to understand each brand and what makes it distinctive, translating its story into imagery that resonates with its audience. While food, drink and still life remain at the heart of her practice, she also works across product, interiors and portrait photography, bringing the same considered approach to each.
Away from the camera, Amrita can often be found exploring a new corner of London or cooking up a storm with her husband in their home kitchen.
