Keeping an eye on the food

Photographer Chiara Ye tries to bring alive the creativity of restaurant chefs

At the end of last year, Chiara Ye was invited to shoot the food and beverage pictures for the newly opened French cuisine restaurant Rive Gauche in Beijing. So, before the shoot, she kept asking questions to the executive chef Ivan Miguez about his food.

Then, dumping her signature style of using bright colors for her photos, this time, Ye decided to follow the style of the restaurant's decor and go with a dark background.
