Los Angeles, California
All-Star Chef Classic is an exciting, intimate, and exclusive culinary celebration bringing together some of the world's most innovative and celebrated chefs for four days in mid-March. This outstanding constellation of chefs will come together to cook in the Chefs Tasting Arena™ and Restaurant Stadium™ presented by Wilsonart, a state-the-art venue with stadium seating, lights, cameras and LED screens, giving fans the perfect view of all the action taking place in the round.
All Star Chef Classic was an incredibly colorful and fast paced environment. It was a challenge but proved to be one of the most innovative and visually stunning events we have photographed. Some of the world’s greatest chefs prepared dishes in a stadium, surrounded by guests. The crowd was filled spectators who had purchased a ticket to watch these chefs in action and taste all the food. They experienced 5 star meals and extraordinary desserts. We photographed all of it, from the chefs, to the colorful food, the back kitchen, the spectators and the atmosphere.
After four days of shoots, four photographers, over 25 chefs, and over 25 courses, we had over 4,000 images to filter through. We selected the best images, the ones that we felt told the story of ASCC. As every chef created their own course, we had many photos of plated dishes which we created a special gallery for. The lighting was incredible so we created a gallery that simply focused on the stadium atmosphere. L.A. Live and ASCC utilized the images for their marketing needs, publications, social media and the ASCC website.
