Description

Photographer Clayton Hauck captures a chef working over an open flame grill in a commercial kitchen in Chicago. The chef wears a dark long-sleeve shirt, a striped apron, and a gold medallion necklace, holding grilling tongs while a white towel hangs from his waist. Bright orange flames rise from the brick grill on the left, illuminating smoke and steam that fills the air around hanging roasted meats. The moody interior lighting casts dramatic highlights and deep shadows across the scene, emphasizing the raw textures and intense heat of the cooking environment.
