Chingri Restaurant Photoshoot: Food, Interior, Behind-the-Scenes (Astoria, Queens)

Chingri is an Asian-fusion Halal restaurant located in Astoria, Queens that recently opened. They needed photos of their menu offerings, to-go dishes, interiors/exteriors, and some behind-the-scenes shots as well that they will use on their website and social media. We spent about 4 hours covering roughly 40 main dishes both individually and in group shots, along with their mocktails and dessert.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using a Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 prime lens, all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
