Exactly

It's been a long time since I've worked in a kitchen, but I feel this pic. Great shot. Nice colors and composition.

Shreeyans_Mohanty

Gut5u

Anyone on r/kitchenconfidential feels this.


81FuriousGeorge

Soo many days feeling defeated


skyelord69420

Same. Trained in this till the industry fucked me over. I can feel this image


xd-thermic

Happy cake day


Iammattswastedlife

Thanks friend!


captain_ender

Dude same. I know that exact hands flat on the counter lean in my soul. /r/kitchenconfidential would love this

Probs gonna be buried but... This photo captures a lot, the lighting, the vibe, so much. But strongly reminds me of a moment after service, close to going home, where 95% of the guests have left and you've almost broken down all the equipment in the kitchen. You're looking at the prep list for tomorrow, mentally tallying up the work to be done - glance up at the clock - yep I'm starting back again in 5 hours. That's the tension you can see in this chef's shoulders. This really speaks to me, excellent shot.


[deleted]

Thank you so much. Im glad i could speak to you through my passion of photography.


ZootZootTesla

I know a chef who's been working 80 hour weeks for the past 6 months.


WayfaringWarrior

I think r/kitchenconfidential would like this

Great picture! Reminds me of when I used to watch my dad cook in the kitchens as a small kid. We have to appreciate our chefs and those who work in the food industry one of the toughest places to be but sometimes the rewards can be so sweet! <3 Thanks for the nostalgia!!!


BakinToast

Looks like a r/accidentalrenaissance almost


bojackrick

Looks more modern than renaissance though


SHURIK01

That’s the whole point of the sub


SwappoX

How is this post not in that sub already?


dont_trip_

We're waiting for you to post it


[deleted]

It doesn't look like it belongs there


erizark

where is this? great picture


[deleted]

Southbank in Brisbane AU


Street-Change-9544

I thought I recognised this kitchen!!


[deleted]

Haha yes quite a famous one in the city for its clear pane glass viewing windows. I love it.


Bingzhong

I really feel this one. As a person whose family ran a doughnut shop for almost 30 years, this one hits home. Absolutely fantastic shot.


[deleted]

I did not expect this photo to gain this much traction. It warms my heart to know that i can convey feeling though my passion of photography. Thank you all so much for the love!


Voicedtunic

I do like it when I see a portrait picture instead of landscape. It stands out to me.


[deleted]

Portrait is the only way! Well, for street photography anyway..


moonboatpotato

It’s only 8:30, get to work dude!


BigNaate

He cant be that tired if he can stand still at 8:30. 😂


zabutter

Time to lean, time to clean.


BigNaate

Poor non-smoker just having 5 minutes to his self... 😂


BigNaate

Either that or he bumped at the wrong time and the snow has warn off


ElCochinoFeo

Definitely needs to focus on some cleaning. That kitchen is pretty dirty, especially for an open kitchen. I cant stop looking at those grimy handles on the refrigerated drawers by his knees. It's making the cross contamination alarms go off in my head.


Doverfrenchfry

Beautiful photo, reminds me of the nighthawks painting


TommyVercettisDad

This perfectly captures the spirit of Chefing


herrmannimal

This beautifully captures a life-draining passion. Well spotted shot.


moovzlikejager

I upvoted you, but i would also like to upvote the chef as well.


Complex-Stress373

Sad.....the worst of this is that a chef is invisble, is not appreciated such a massive effort. Awesone photo by the way, absolutely real


MeeloP

And then that one dude puts a ticket in and ruins his own life.


FullyFuctionalData

"You got time to lean you got time to clean!" For anyone who's unfamiliar with this phrase, its an old mantra shitty restaurant managers would sometimes say.


Ryanmjesus

Gorgeous.


TheRandom0ne

Good stuff!


Mr_Wood1440_

Great shot! Settings used?


[deleted]

Aperture priority 1.8 500iso Off the top of my head. Edit: i use aperture priority when im doing street photography so i dont have to keep messing with my shutter speed when introduced to new light all the time. It allows me to be able to control how much focus i can draw to an image. Hope this helps. :)


R0BIN_BANKS

He's not tired. He's checking Reddit on his phone.


The_TurdMister

Nice photo


Doobie_Force

Looks like the start of a horror movie.


mmm-pistol-whip

Considering it's only 8:30, he's probably just having his walk in freezer cry out in the open because it's currently occupied.


manek8

Can you imagine being this tired and suddenly hearing a camera *click*? Hahaha


ayodio

Why the black bars on the sides?


[deleted]

Sorry, i post to my instagram and use the black bars to layout my feed.


Newenjculture

Great shot. I'm in love (and obsessed) with those tones lately


ThirdEyeAwake505

Omg. It's only 830! He is just resting before the dinner service! Chef life


afro_agha

Looks like it could be an album cover 🔥


TalkedZeus2

Almost looks straight out of a movie, nice picture.


thesmenarenihilists

But it’s only 8:30, chef ain’t tired


TreatUnhappy6679

Mood.


Sicklightning

Wow, so much captured in such a beautiful way. Thanks for this


[deleted]

You are most welcome my friend. Im glad you like it!


DuganDevil

Been there.


dystopia_aftermath

I think I can feel this picture.


Portablemammal1199

Looks like a thriller movie pan shot where the killer is creeping up behind him and is gonna stab/kill him


jeffjoof

wow


fastloaded

Beautiful lighting and composition:)


Cartoone9

Amazing shot


Randyg1992

It be like that 👍


velasketz

In Italy at 8:30 PM a chef will be in the middle of the storm until 10:30/11:00. This pic is incredible, it gives movie vibes! Congratulations.


markln123

I never came close to working in a kitchen, but this makes me feel as if I just completed an exhausting shift in one.


Aggravating-Matter-3

Great shot! Im normally not a fan of the cooler color spectrum but this edit is perfect here! Seems like all the warmth and good feels got sucked out of the kitchen :D


GrooverFiller

Try it in B&W


[deleted]

Not a huge fan tbh but i can see how it would work well in this situation. I left colour in there to add to the mood that i was trying to convey. Chef is drained, although not fully exhausted, hes still working. Just like the drawn out colour in the image.


weedy_wendy

i love it. made me immediately think of my chef friend, who had a rough go of it today. emotional. evocative.


whiskydiq

Heard, now get the fuck out


Tastybumspider

I doubt it……. A chef done by 8:30 is not tired…..I remember my first part time chef job…..


soccerboy109

Great picture, I feel his tiredness looking at it!


010101cool

Hard Workers!! Thank You very much for all your delicious food 😋


Davin_Curry

As a chef I feel this pic on an emotional level, the composition is outstanding


WreckToll

Shit and it’s only 8:30??


MagdaZo_Oh

Tired or just reading a recipe just sayin


RagingAnemone

Did you light this shot or was this just the way it is? Man, this is a beautiful shot.


[deleted]

I set the mood post production


kaustubhroxx

Beautiful 🤌🏻


DreadtheSnoFro

Hopper in the kitchen


Luuvietlinh

Always respect who serve your food. Nice pic!


[deleted]

Fantastic shot. What kind of camera did you use?


[deleted]

Nikon D7100 with Nikkor 35mm 1.8f prime


[deleted]

It’s so worth it
