KIDS AND FOOD INSECURITY . . While the saying goe

KIDS AND FOOD INSECURITY
.
.
While the saying goes -
`An apple a day keeps the doctor away ‘
Did you know? There are kids out there who haven’t consumed an apple before!
Oh, It’s not just about apples here - But the @worldfoodprogramme reports that 45 MILLION KIDS SUFFER FROM SEVERE MALNUTRITION EVERY YEAR!!!
Isn’t that devastating to know?
.
.
.
So as individuals, How can we contribute towards making a difference?
It could be through small acts like
🍃 Supporting organisations that strive in helping Food Insecure children.
🍃 Visiting food insecure regions ourselves and sharing fund / food with the needy when and where possible 💓
Cz The Change must begin with us 🙌

Ever had Modaks ( Indian Sweet Dumplings ) drenched in honey? 🤤
.
.
.
We made few Orange Modaks amidst the Traditional ones for Varalakshmi Vratham yesterday and I definitely had to photograph this beauty in all her glory!!
.
.
.
🍃 Amidst allll the sweets - Modaks are hands down my favourite Cz They not just take care of your sweet cravings but are such Comfort blobs - As warming as they could get !!
🍃 Rice flour dough filled with Coconut Jaggery balls!! Oh I’m absolutely drooling as I write in you see 🙈
🍃 If you’ve not had them before, I highly recommend you do 🙌🏼💓

Vadicha Saadam ( Cooking Rice - The Age Old Way )

Vadicha Saadam ( Cooking Rice - The Age Old Way ) - Part 2 of Series - EMBRACING THE MUNDANE
.
.
🍃 In Indian households today, While We all have shifted to cooking rice using a Pressure Cooker over a Gas Stove.,

🍃 Nothing could beat Rice cooked over fire - On a mud stove and within a Clay pot!!
Slowly cooked rice soaking in all the goodness and aroma of mud, Gosh!!

🍃 It’s a Win - Win situation both in terms of Health and Taste alongside getting Kanji ( Rice Water ) which is again extremely good for health and Oh yes - Use it to rinse your face, Use it as a hair mask and The Benefits are endless!

🍃 Fresh ( Vadicha Sadam ) Rice, Mixed with Curd and had with Vengaya Vadagam ( Seasoned and Sundried Shallots ) and Seenarikkai Vathal ( Sundried Clusterbeans ) is pure BLISS!!
Anyone with me? 😋

Thuvayal in the making - Part 1 of Series - EMBRAC

Thuvayal in the making - Part 1 of Series - EMBRACING THE MUNDANE
.
.
🍃 One of my TOP TIPS TO ACE THE ART OF VISUAL STORYTELLING would be to Embrace The Mundane 💪🏼

🍃 Don’t Food Stories unveil before us on a daily basis - In the Mundanest, Unstaged and Natural ways possible ?

🍃 Observing these Stories, Paying attention to the tiniest of details and In turn incorporating them in Our Food Photos can be REWARDING !!

🍃 Most of Inspiration to my Images comes from my Daily life and That’s what help them make relatable I guess? 💓
.
🎉 There are ENDLESS such Topics I cherish discussing with my Dear Students and If you’d also love taking up 1:1 Sessions with me,
🎉 DM / Email me right away.
I would be honoured to help you get closer to your Creative Dreams💪🏼😘
🎉 Also Do Hop on to my Story Highlights to see what students say about The Course.,
.
.

Image:
🥥 Thuvayal is a Staple Dish in Tamilnadu - Something similar to Chutney prepared to have with Rice.
🥥 The Secret quotient to making Best tasing Thuvayal is to grind it like so using an Ammikal ( Grinding Stone ) The age old method that we still follow at home here.
🥥 There are a Variety of Thuvayals made using Herbs, Lentils, Seeds and The one here is Thengai ( Coconut )Thuvayal.
Nothing like a plate of Steaming rice with Thuvayal and An appalam to crunch on! With me anyone? 😋

Why is Storytelling and Emotional Connect importan

Why is Storytelling and Emotional Connect important in Food Photography?
.
Why do I love Inducing Human element in my Food Photographs?
.
Of Everything - I believe - A photograph in general is LIFELESS without it having a Story to reveal!! Cz
🍃 As Human beings, Aren’t we all An Amalgam of Stories? 💓

🍃 And Just like that - Food is all about Stories and What connects us human beings and Our Food is An Array of Powerful emotions!!

🍃 It could be Joy, Hunger, Nostalgia, Comfort or even Sorrow..

🍃 So, If you’d love for your audience to connect with your Food Photographs personally - Portraying Cherished Food Stories and Emotions could be the best way!!

🎉 And If you’d love knowing alllll possible ways to achieve the same, I’m right here to assist 💓
🎉 DM or Email to get on 1:1 Mentoring Sessions with me.,
I’d be HONOURED to help you get closer to your Creative Dreams😘
