Description

A bald male chef wearing a white shirt is focused intently as he sharpens a kitchen knife on a whetstone set upon a prep table. Several other knives rest in a row on a white cutting board nearby in the dimly lit workspace. The composition employs dramatic side lighting that highlights the chef's hands and profile against a dark, moody background. This commercial portrait was photographed in Los Angeles by Alex Farnum.
