Here’s my entry to the Good Food Month’s annual competition, ‘Shoot the Chef’. Inspired by one of my favourite cookbooks, the original ‘Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook’, I decided to take a self-portrait in honour of Betty Crocker herself. Not to get too technical, I delved head first into the realm of film and analogue photography to replicate the photographic quality that cookbooks of that era had. This scene draws the picture of Ponytail Journal in a parallel Universe where I wear lipstick and make gravy from a powder.

If you enjoy this photograph, I would be eternally grateful if you were to ‘like’ it on the Shoot the Chef Stack, or like it on my Instagram page, and let the games begin!
