CHEF AMANDA BARENO

This is Amanda Bareno, the new Head Chef of Vivace restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Amman. It is a terrific place to eat fine Italian food if you have more money than you know what to do with. I shot this portrait for the fine folks at Nox Magazine. Chef Amanda was very gracious in agreeing to take this photo in the walk in freezer. The flame in the pan is from burning paper towels that burnt great for about 5 seconds, then spread ash all over the place. We went through quite a few until I got the look I was after. After setting up for about 30 minutes in the cooler, and another 20 minutes of shooting, my fingers were pretty numb; a small price to pay for a shot I really like.
