Lisa Cohen, Photographer, Sydney

Description

This black-and-white photograph by photographer Lisa Cohen captures three male chefs in a bustling commercial kitchen in Sydney. The chefs are gathered closely around a stainless steel prep counter, leaning in with focused expressions as they discuss preparation. They wear traditional white chef jackets with knotted cloth buttons, and the central and right figures wear dark aprons and a black skull cap. Stacks of plates, bottles, and spray and condiment dispensers crowd the foreground and midground, framing the scene through a low vantage point underneath an overhead shelf. The naturalistic lighting casts sharp highlights on the metallic surfaces and fabric textures, while the monochrome grading emphasizes high-contrast edges and deep tonal depth.
