Faces of Food and Wine is a portrait series showcasing the people shaping the world of gastronomy and wine. From chefs and sommeliers to winegrowers and restaurateurs, each plays a vital role in this dynamic ecosystem. Shot intuitively and with minimal intrusion—often in under three minutes—these mostly commissioned portraits favor natural light and carefully chosen backgrounds that integrate seamlessly into the composition. When needed, a simple glass and an open aperture transform an unflattering setting into a soft, watercolor-like blur. Whether candid or posed in a fleeting moment, each portrait aims to capture the authenticity of its subject—making them feel seen, as they are.
