5 SIGNATURE CHEFS He literally takes chefs out of their white, uniform jackets. His portraits, kept strictly in black and white, capture a brief moment of reflection, joy, tranquility, or candid interaction with the photographer. Lehmann, a luminary in food photography, has traversed the globe for over 30 years on assignments from leading industry publishers, covering food and drink. Initially a haute couture fashion photographer, he is now regarded as the photographic eye of haute cuisine. His impressive portfolio includes 101 highly successful cookbooks, notably for Alain Ducasse. Since 2013, Joerg Lehmann has been passionately connected to the Austrian JRE: “I’m especially impressed by the many family-run businesses where heart and tradition, respect and curiosity for the modern, are encapsulated in amazing dishes. There’s an incredibly exciting culinary world here, with a strong identity that is most definitely a recipe for success!” There are some dishes so perfect they become signature dishes, symbolizing restaurant and chef alike. Extraordinary creations by extraordinary personalities behind the stove. Joerg Lehmann, a star photographer based in Paris, Berlin, and Tokyo, now showcases the people behind such famous dishes in a sensitive photo series.
