In a city as fast-paced as New York, I have always loved DIG, a restaurant that takes the slow route by choosing local farms and in-season ingredients for their tasty salads and sandwiches. You can imagine how thrilled I was to collaborate with the team at DIG to capture their latest out-of-home campaign. Photographed by Evi Abeler, NYC-based food and advertising photographer.

Read MoreCooking with Nonna
Creative Direction: This shoot for the cookbook Cooking with Nonna was an absolute delight, because I had the opportunity to work closely with author Rossella Rago and her grandmother. Rossella built her culinary brand via YouTube, where she shares videos of her cooking with Italian grandmothers (nonnas). Her recipes are classic Italian dishes that involve multiple steps (like making homemade pasta and preparing long-cooking sauces), so the shoot took place over six days in a private kitchen. Working with the art director, we created a homey, comfortable look using props that might have come from a nonna’s kitchen. Rossella and her family were very hands-on in preparing the dishes, which gave the shoot an authentic family atmosphere. I was thrilled that the publisher chose my portrait of Rossella and her nonna for the book’s cover.
