Chef Maverick is a celebrity chef known for her excellence in Cannabis Cuisine, and her appearance on the Food Network show, “Chopped 420”.
Chef Maverick came from Atlanta to LA to cater the GLAAD Winter Gala in 2023, and I got to team up with her to capture her incredible art. We spent several days together leading up to event so I could photograph the preparation of all the incredible food she was going to serve. I got to capture the brightness of the food, the skill of the knife-work, and the creativity that went into every dish she created.
Chef Mav curated an incredible menu including 7 passed appetizers for the Gala. Among those appetizers were Oxtail Taquitos, Lamb Lollipops, and BBQ shrimp. Not only were they delicious, but they were absolutely beautiful on camera.
So beautiful in fact, that it caught the eye of High Times Magazine who wrote an incredible profile of Chef Maverick highlighting her work in cannabis cuisine. I was honored to see my photos published in the magazine. You can see the photos I took of the taquitos, the lamb lollipops, and the cornbread bowls in the magazine spread.
