The opportunity to work on this Food Network production stems through a relationship built on Instagram. Joe Vella, co-founder of Bayonet Media and director of photography, and I had traded messages and comments for over a year on a variety of shared interests.

When they first hinted that this project was a go, I asked him about it. I went on to say that if unit stills (photos taken during the video production, typically used for web landing pages, social media, or press) were a requirement, then I was completely interested.

Fast forward several weeks  and I spent three full days on set as a part of the project. My job was to focus on the chef, Ben Hardy of Gallery Pastry Shop in Indianapolis. This was my first time working on such a production. It was busy - there was always something  to shoot on the six-part series.
