Description

An experienced chef stands in the center of a busy commercial kitchen, expertly tossing food in a wok while a dramatic plume of fire bursts across the pan. The chef wears a bright orange athletic jersey and matching shorts, paired with protective white rubber boots. Stacks of clean white plates line the stainless steel prep counters to the left, alongside red crates filled with fresh vegetables and ingredients. The low-key interior lighting and tight framing accentuate the high-heat action and candid, raw energy of the culinary workspace. Photographed by Alex Lau in New York.
