Fashion, Lifestyle & Food Shoots
Images with a mood people want to step into.
Lifestyle, fashion and food shoots create imagery that shows how a brand fits into real life — people wearing, using, cooking, eating and enjoying. Nebula Brand Labs plans and produces campaign shoots, lookbooks, menu and food photography and lifestyle content in Mumbai, with art direction, styling, casting and locations managed end-to-end.
About the service
Product shots show what you sell. Lifestyle imagery shows why it matters. It's what makes someone imagine themselves in your clothes, at your restaurant or using your product at home — and it's the imagery that drives most social media, campaign and website content.
Great lifestyle shoots don't happen by accident. They need a clear creative concept, the right faces, locations and styling, and a crew that can capture natural, unposed moments. We bring it all together and plan every shoot to deliver both still images and video content.

Frequently asked questions
What's included in a lifestyle or campaign shoot?
A typical shoot includes the creative concept and moodboard, casting, location, styling, photographer and crew, and edited images. Depending on the brief, it may also include hair and make-up, food or prop styling, video capture, set building and high-end retouching.
Can you arrange models and locations?
Yes. We cast models, actors or real people to suit your brand, and find locations such as homes, cafés, outdoor spaces or studios. We handle bookings, permissions and logistics so you can focus on the creative.
Do you do food photography for restaurant menus?
Yes. We shoot menu dishes, drinks and ambience for restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens and packaged food brands, with professional food styling so every dish looks fresh and appetising.
Can we get videos and reels from the same shoot?
Yes, and we recommend it. Capturing photos and videos on the same day saves time and budget, and gives you a full library of content for your website, social media and ads.
How long does it take to plan a shoot?
Most shoots need one to three weeks of planning for concept, casting, locations and styling. Larger campaigns with multiple looks or locations may need longer.
How many final images will we receive?
We agree on the number of final edited images before the shoot, based on your shot list and channels. You'll also see a wider selection of frames to choose from.
How much does a lifestyle or fashion shoot cost?
Costs depend on the number of looks or dishes, shoot days, talent, locations, styling and retouching. We share a detailed estimate after understanding your brief, and can suggest ways to get the most from your budget.
Who owns the images, and how can we use them?
You'll have usage rights for the agreed channels. Model and talent usage rights — for example, social media only or including print and hoardings — are agreed upfront, so you can use images confidently.
