Table of Spreads - Honey, Chocolate, Jams — Culture Magazine
Pairings

**Creative Direction:** For their annual pairings issue, I worked with the magazine’s editor and outside design firm Red Herring to capture different cheese pairings, including jam, wine, honey—and, yes, donuts!
Donuts and cheese might not seem like natural partners, but the editorial team from Culture magazine celebrated this unexpected (and unexpectedly delicious!) combination. We also shot a layout that featured hand lettering created with honey. I love working with clients who are passionate about what they do, and the Culture team are such enthusiastic collaborators.

**Creative Direction:** This update of the classic home cheese making guide, by author Ricki Carroll, replaces the illustrations in the original with photos. I wanted the images to be accessible, educational, and beautiful all at the same time. We documented the different steps in the cheese making process, and showed finished cheeses and serving ideas.

**Creative Direction:** How do you make a wedge of cheese look interesting? It’s all about design and propping—and about working with an experienced cheesemonger who knows how to bring out each cheese’s visual best. The design team at *Culture Magazine* envisioned a comic book-like graphic style for their Best Cheeses of the Year special issue. I worked closely with the magazine’s art director to anticipate the layout needs and to shoot each cheese—about 100 in all—to support the design.
