Ingredients

For over a year now I have been working with the Modernist Cuisine group, taking photos and videos and neat, clean, and fancy foods. Though I do love the group I am working with and the work that I do with them, I've always been attracted to simple, "rustic" style photos. 
Since I began in the world of photography, editorial has always been in the lead as far as what I am most passionate about. Being in the moment as events unfold, and capturing that event that would otherwise have been lost to the world. However, having been immersed in the world of food, I have found a new love in that as well. Not so much in beautifully plated dishes, but in all the varying ingredients that go into those dishes.
So, I have decided to start a new series of photographs. Not for anyone else, but for myself. I want to show all the beauty and richness that I see in these simple things. I will post some here on this blog, as well as additional photos on my website. Currently these can be found under the "food" gallery. But As I start to build the portfolio up, it will probably turn into an "ingredients" portfolio, so I can separate it from the Modernist Cuisine blog photos that also happen to be in the "food" category.
If you have any thoughts, or opinions, I would love to hear them.

Thanks for taking the time to look at these. I have combined some of the vertical images that I think go well together.

As I have mentioned before, I was blessed with the opportunity to work with the the Modernist Cuisine staff on their 2nd book (or 6th depending on how you want to look at it) Modernist Cuisine at Home. A book that was thought up, developed, cooked, photographed, edited, sent to print, and released in about 1 year! It was one heck of an undertaking! There were many people working day in and day out to get this project done. So come and have a look!
