The Tastemakers
About the up-and-coming diverse chefs in Columbia’s culinary scene.
For this series, I wanted to put the “chef before the food.” Of course, most food coverage puts a heavy emphasis on food photography. But because the emphasis in this story was the chefs over their food, I sought to use close-ups of their dishes as a “texture” that instead highlighted each chef’s portraits and culinary backgrounds.
