ITALIAN MASTERS I freelanced for Gourmet Magazine during the rein of editor in chief, Ruth Reichl. I felt very pleased with the rich and traditional feeling this Italian Masters story portrayed visually. We successfully captured the essence of traditional Italian food through lighting, color and style. An extra bonus: Ruth loved the Butternut Squash and Hazelnut Lasagna image in this story, proclaiming it was one of her favorite food photos!
