Oh, the places my camera takes me… This is the what I would consider the 8th Wonder only able to be captured by the like of Architectural Digest and… Myself! This is Audrey, the brainchild and Magnus Opus of Chef Sean Brock. I’ve come to know Sean when he first moved to Nashville as a young and ambitious culinary prodigy hailing from Charleston, SC. I worked as a waiter at The Capital Grille restaurant (independent restaurant) nearly 20 years ago.
Through years of growth on both of our ends in separate career (I continued my career in music and later photography in New York) as he began to plant roots in Nashville with his Family.
Sean has been the winner and recipient of various awards and accolades over the years including winner of Iron Chef, multiple James Beard Award and featured on Netflix Chef’s Table and many other achievements.
When I head back home to Nashville, I always make a special emphasis to reach out to check in with him. Every time I do, he has something “cooking”.
On a recent trip, he showed me around his latest and greatest, Audrey
I had the distinct honor to capture some never before seen images of this marvel of a restaurant and cultural compound as we affectionately call it.
Here are a few images from my time with my Friend and super talented chef and visionary, Sean Brock.
