Clayton Hauck, Photographer, Chicago

Description

A dark-haired man with a mustache works in a commercial kitchen, tending to a glowing charcoal grill. He wears a dark long-sleeve shirt and a vertically striped apron, his right hand moving above the hot coals while sparks rise into the air. Above the grill, several roasted ducks hang from metal hooks on an overhead rack, illuminated by dramatic blue and warm orange lighting. The background features rustic kitchen architecture with brick surfaces and ambient smoke. Captured by photographer Clayton Hauck in Chicago, this cinematic editorial photograph emphasizes the intense atmosphere and textures of open-fire cooking.
