«I really enjoy working with food, being in restaurants, and cooking in the kitchen. My favorite thing about taking photos is telling stories and making documentaries. i've spent a lot of time taking pictures in restaurant kitchens, where there isn't much room to move around and you have to work fast. there's not much space, and you have to be quick to capture
the perfect moment without getting in the way too much.»
