About
Hi! My name is Nitya (níh-tya) and I am a photographer & director based in Austin, specializing in food, drink, hospitality, and lifestyle.

I create vibrant and crave-able visual content for commercial and editorial clients. Every flavor, space, and place holds magic and I follow the light to bring them to life. My love of food and color goes back to my South Asian roots. I was born in India and grew up in a multigenerational home where the early morning wake-up call was a cup of hot cardamom chai while sauces and spices simmered for all the meals to follow.  It was all about gathering people around a table over a shared common experience through food and stories.

A background in architecture and graphic design has shaped my photographic journey of weaving light, textures, and space into telling visual stories unique to each client.

When I am not behind the lens, you will find me out on walks with my pup Gia, cooking up a storm with Bruce Springsteen, or traveling with my husband and son.

I work in Austin, Seattle, and New York but never too far away to work from a good project. Have something in mind? Let's talk.
