Hi, I’m Damian — a former chef turned photographer.

After over a decade working in professional kitchens, from dishwasher to head chef, I’ve learned that the real magic of a restaurant doesn’t just happen on the plate — it happens behind the scenes. It’s in the rhythm of a busy service, the quiet focus before the rush, the burn marks, the laughter, and the unspoken coordination of a great team.

Today, I use my camera to capture that world — the raw, authentic life inside restaurants. I understand the intensity, the details, and the unfiltered beauty of what happens behind the pass. That’s why my work goes beyond food photography. I tell the story of the people, the places, and the passion behind every dish.
