This is what i do

This was shot for Edible Manhattan and it was super special because I shot it with my amazing friend Carolyn Fong. It was a two part shoot as we shot portraits and the production of the meat. For the portraits I shot in the dry aged meat freezer and was literally surrounded by meat touching me on all sides. It was definitely one of the stranger places I’ve shot. The production was fascinating. When the time comes for production to begin everyone goes to their station and starts chopping, grinding, and boxing up meat. There were some real characters that put on a pretty good show for us.
La Frieda is a family business run by the some of the nicest and funniest guys I’ve met. At the end of the shoot Pat Jr was nice enough to send me home with a massive box full of the tastiest meat I’ve ever had.
I’ll be posting some outtakes in a later blog.
