I enjoy working with chefs who are just as committed to telling their stories through the details of their craft as I am. Chef Drew Ausley is one of these chefs.

Ausley, the owner of Boone Doggies, started his career with a hot dog cart and worked his way up to his successful restaurant with original, well-crafted recipes. I admire his attention to detail. When I shoot restaurant foods, especially burgers, I usually find imperfections such as smushed buns. However, Ausley carefully thinks through every element of his food, mitigating flaws in his presentation. For instance, his burger buns are delivered in crates ensuring they are not stacked on top of each other -- making them picture perfect.

I approach my work similarly, with meticulous planning and attention to detail to ensure every aspect of my photography gets the attention it deserves.
