Hey, I’m Siddharth Arora, the face behind Siddology.
I create visuals that don’t just look good; they evoke a sense of emotion. From fashion studios to real-world stories, I blend cinematic lighting with raw emotion to craft images and films that stay with you long after you’ve seen them.
Based in Delhi, working anywhere the story takes me.
![ESSENCE – The Beauty of Stillness
✨ Soft Doesn’t Mean Flat.
The goal here was to get that clean, creamy light — without losing skin texture.
Just one large soft source, placed close, and a white fill below to lift shadows.
💡 Key tip: If your light is soft but your image looks dull, you’re missing direction, not power. Angle your key slightly, and let shadow define the shape.
Save this setup if you love clean beauty shots 🔖

![No key. No fill. No safety net.
THE SILENCE OF FORM: Nothing added. Nothing missing.
Just a hard rim from behind carving the silhouette and letting skin fall into shadow.
This is where form matters more than detail.
If you add front light here, you kill the intent.
Rim light is not for visibility, it’s for shape, restraint, confidence.
Next step you’re missing, control spill aggressively. Flag the rim tighter and watch the edges turn surgical.

![BUILT TO MOVE: Precision over noise
Natural light, no modifiers, no rescue lights.
I waited for the sun to cut through the pillars and let architecture do the shaping.
Hard highlights define the muscle, deep shadows add speed and tension.
This is not controlled light, this is observed light.
Miss this moment and the frame is gone.
Next step you are missing, try shifting your position by inches, not meters. Patterns change fast, photographers react faster.

![Your food isn’t the problem.
Your lighting is.
If you want hot food to look hot, stop blasting it with your key light.
Lower the key.
Add a backlight.
That backlight catches the steam, gives it shape, and suddenly the food feels fresh, hot, and appetising.
Steam is invisible until you light it right.
Same dish. Smarter lighting.
