Dhanraj Emanuel

Chapter: Charlotte, NC /
Pro Type: Photographer

Dhanraj Emanuel is a food and beverage photographer specializing in creating clean, timeless, and artful images that cut through the clutter of communication.

Dhanraj recognizes that food is not just essential—it's universal. Food is the common thread in our lives, sustenance for many, history, culture, and memory for some but identity for all. It provides the ideal setting to connect, interact, understand, and celebrate each other. With that in mind, Dhanraj's photographs highlight the meaningful connections between people and food.

Dhanraj collaborates with food and beverage clients from all over the country. While his North Carolina-based studio is fully equipped with all the lighting, gear, and equipment needed to take food productions from concept to completion in-house, he is also comfortable shooting on location and loves traveling. You can find his images in editorial magazines, packaging design, and advertising campaigns
