Thomas Lindway Photography

Overview

Dear Culinary Professional,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Thomas Lindway, and I believe we may have connected previously regarding food photography. If this is a duplicate message, I apologize for any redundancy.

Having spent 36 years in the hospitality industry, I have held various roles ranging from dishwasher to General Manager, Sous Chef, and Executive Chef. While I hesitate to label myself as a "chef" due to not having attended culinary school, I have gleaned valuable knowledge from the many talented chefs I have had the privilege to work with. My culinary skills and knife handling are adequate, but I prefer to be modest about my previous title held.

Sadly, recent health challenges have led me to step back from the industry and transition to disability. During this time, I dedicated a significant portion of last year to immersing myself in the art of food photography. Drawing from my extensive industry experience, I believe I bring a unique perspective to capturing culinary delights through photography. Understanding the meticulous standards of chefs, F&B managers, and other professionals who pride themselves on their craft, I recognize the importance of not only ensuring dishes taste exceptional but also visually stunning.

I have taken the liberty of retouching a few of the photos you shared. Respecting the effort and dedication that goes into each culinary creation, I refrain from offering unsolicited critiques, as I believe in maintaining a professional approach.

I would love the opportunity to speak with you in regard to any food photography needs you may have coming up. If you have weekly, monthly, or seasonal promotions or menus you would like to promote, I’d love to share your vision through my food photography.

Warm regards,

Thomas Lindway
