Professional Portrait Session with Chef Edward Lee

Images made for Louisville Magazine’s feature story about the life of Chef Ed Lee.

Chef Ed Lee is a super busy individual, ya know launching a relief kitchen during a pandemic and all so we didn’t have too long for this session but he did carve out an afternoon for me to come photograph him. His main request was that we walk around and include the real environment around his restaurant. The train tracks near by and bits of the urban decay. He brought some bourbon along and took me to some local graffiti he enjoyed. He was such a kind man. He humored my posing requests and trusted the process.
