photo of man CSTMDL, Candid kitchen shot from a shaky phone camera, circa 2018. A chef in a white apron stands at the counter of a busy restaurant kitchen, holding a flaming skillet. The steam and heat create a hazy effect, slightly blurring the background where other chefs and cooks hustle. Piles of fresh vegetables and ingredients are scattered across the counter, while pots and pans sizzle on the stovetop. The scene is lit by the bright, warm overhead lights of the kitchen, and the chef’s focused expression adds intensity to the lively, chaotic atmosphere.
