Chef plating dishes carefully in a moody, dimly lit kitchen by photographer Charlie Hawks in Melbourne

Charlie Hawks, Photographer, Melbourne

About

A chef is captured mid-action in profile, meticulously seasoning or plating dishes on a counter in a dimly lit, moody kitchen environment. The low-key lighting highlights the concentration of the chef and the carefully arranged plates containing halves of eggs and other ingredients in the foreground. The background dissolves into shadow with soft bokeh from distant lights. This atmospheric culinary portrait was photographed by Charlie Hawks in Melbourne.
