BLog Post #6


I have recently started focusing my photography on food. A couple weeks ago I worked on a Rocco Dispirito cookbook shoot with the photographer Kritsada Panichgul (www.kritsada.com). Kritsada is an immensely talented photographer and it was a wonderful experience learning from him and also working with Rocco. The experience has pushed me in this new direction as an aspiring food photographer.

This is an image of an openfaced sandwich I made for breakfast. It is my version of an Argentine classic, the choripan, converted into a breakfast sandwich. From bottom up there is a toasted piece of bread, grilled lettuce and onion, sliced tomato, chorizo, over-easy egg, drizzled with some chimichurri. It encompasses most of the things I love about food.

Being raised in an Argentine family, I developed a love for simple food that aims to highlight the natural flavors of quality ingredients. What puts this over the top for me is the over easy egg. A runny egg yoke might be my favorite breakfast item, I even like it more than bacon.

This is an image with personal value to me. It illustrates the foods I love while also illuminating my heritage and demonstrating how that heritage influences my creative ideas into the future.

Buen provecho.

    Wow man, I really like the this shot. Most shots only have an effect on one sense, vision. But this shot excites both my eyes and my mouth. As my eyes follow the knife I see the yoke dripping down the side of the sandwich, and my mouth can't do anything else but fill up with siliva. It's amazing how a picture can have that effect. I think shooting food is a great direction... now I'm realy craving a breakfast sandwich.
