Kitchen Life Mood Board

This is a brief summary of what i see in my head as a inspiration shoot and video for creating a cooking brand session. I want to mix my worlds of being a chef and capturing the beauty in the female muse. Below is a detailed list of things i would capture in photo and video form. But could change slightly. The photos are also for inspiration not duplication but they do represent the sexy angle and bold direction that you wouldn’t see in the NORM kitchen session.
