Commercial photography is all about telling a visual story—and recently, I had the opportunity to do just that for Himalaya Sono, a new restaurant in the heart of South Norwalk, Connecticut.

Owned by Nawang, Himalaya Sono blends rich Himalayan heritage with modern, welcoming design. From the moment you step inside, you’re met with warm textures, ambient lighting, and a thoughtful layout that invites guests to relax and stay awhile. My job was to capture that feeling and translate it into images that reflect the brand’s personality and atmosphere.

When photographing commercial spaces, especially restaurants, I focus on a few key things:

• Lighting: Showcasing how the space feels at different times of day—bright and airy for lunch, or moody and intimate for dinner.
• Details: Highlighting materials, decor, seating arrangements, and brand elements that give the space its unique character.
• Versatility: Providing the client with a mix of wide shots, vignettes, and social media-ready images for marketing use.

Nawang wanted to create a visual presence that matched the care he put into designing the restaurant—and that’s where professional photography makes a difference. Strong imagery helps businesses like his stand out online, draw in customers, and establish trust before anyone even walks through the door.

There is a stage where live music is played at selected times.

If you’re opening a new business or looking to refresh your visual content, I’d love to help you showcase your space in its best light.
