Prerna Singh runs the award-winning food blog Indian Simmer, which was a finalist in the prestigious Saveur Best Food Blogs this year. Her photos are at the same time sophisticated and rustic, giving a natural yet polished look to the simplest of foods. She grew up in India, but now lives in the U.S. with her husband and daughter.
Prerna uses a Canon 50mm f1.4 lens and photographs in natural light, occasionally using reflectors.
I recently discovered Mónica Pinto’s beautiful food photography when searching for World Food Blogs for my Food News Daily column. Of Portuguese origin, her recipes are often traditional Portuguese, but her photography is firmly rooted in the spirit of cutting-edge food photography. Mónica runs the blog Pratos y Travessas, writtten in both Portuguese and English.

Meeta introduces herself
Meeta — that’s the name given to me by my dad! I was born back in the summer of 1972, one beautiful day in Bombay, India. I was practically delivered in a hotel! My father has worked most of his life in the hotel business, and that’s what injected the hotelier’s blood into my veins. This hotel lifestyle enabled me to travel the world, get close to many cultures, learn a few languages and experience many great adventures.
Knowing only the hotel life, I decided to follow my dad’s footsteps and studied Hotel Management, specializing in Marketing and Guest Relations. I trained in one of the finest luxury hotels of this world in Doha, Qatar. That is when a tiny spark for food was ignited in my soul.
I now have settled down in Germany, with the two men I adore, Tom my loving partner for almost 10 years and Soeren my adorable son of 7 years.
Hotels are not a part of my life in Germany. After graduating, I came to Germany and worked in an advertising firm, an architecture and design firm and a couple of software firms. Don’t ask how that came about — it just happened. Glad it did too because along this path I bumped into and fell in love with Tom.
We are now in Weimar and you’ll laugh when I tell you this: my traveling feet have begun to itch again! Let’s see where life takes us.
I love photography, always have, but it was with the start of my What’s For Lunch Honey! blog that I discovered the world of Foodography. From that moment on, my passion for photography has taken up a large part of my life, and down a new road, with a completely new angle; it has opened so many exciting doors. I try to capture shots that speak a thousand words, that make one feel as if they were a part of the scene and experience the photo with their senses.

Prerna Singh is a food photographer and blogger. She spent most of her childhood in a few small towns in central India – a time she fondly remembers, with rotis straight out the clay oven and mom’s cooking, with produce straight from the farms.
She got her MBA in India, and worked in the advertising industry. She is now married and living in the U.S. with her husband and son.
