CSRA Chef Portrait Project — Seeking Professional Chefs

I’m creating a portrait series designed to highlight and celebrate the culinary artists of the CSRA.

Chef Requirements:

Professional chef, actively working in the industry
(brief credentials required — restaurant, role, or relevant experience)

Recognized as a chef within the culinary community

Chef uniform required for portraits
• No T-shirts or tank tops
• Jeans acceptable if clean and free of holes or stains

Provide one signature dish to be photographed and featured on social media
• Dish must be clean, intentional, and visually refined
• This project highlights the art of cooking, so presentation matters

Strong personal story or culinary point of view

Comfortable being photographed in action

Open to all culinary styles, with a special interest in fine dining

Important Note:
This is not a paid project. Selected chefs will receive their professional portrait and dish photo at no cost, will be tagged and featured on my photography page, and shared throughout the community as part of the ongoing series.

I understand the holiday season is busy. Scheduling will begin shortly after the start of the new year, January 1st, 2026.

📸 If you’re a chef — or know one who should be featured — please comment or send a message.

Featured are examples of the portrait style chefs can expect.
