I served as art director and one of two photographers on the ground, leading a total four-person creative crew through the full sweep of the festival.

We documented chefs mid-flame, food coming off the fire at its most decadent, and the intimate details that give Heritage Fire its unmistakable soul.

The creative direction was intentional from start to finish, balancing the sweeping energy of the gathering with the quiet, artisanal moments that make this event worth experiencing.

This project holds a special place in my portfolio because it lives at the intersection of two things I love most: destination and culinary culture.
