ÅKERSBERG • Food & Kitchen Shoot • Thursday 10th and Saturday 12th January 2013

On thursday and saturday I spent 2 half days photographing food and the kitchen at the well know restaurant and hotel Åkersberg in Höör, Sweden. Åkersberg is an old mansion from early 16th century with quite a history and is now an restaurant and hotel owned and run by the Swedish Church.
6 months ago the well known swedish chef P-G Hansson was contracted to renew and revive the restaurant and take the kitchen from salad buffet to a more refined gourmet restaurant. I had the pleasure to shoot P-G and the staff the two last days of his contract period. 
I have never been in a restaurant kitchen before and was most impressed of the quality of worksmanship and high speed of all staff working here as a team. During these two days I made sure that my camera was set on a fast shutter and to be in the right place at the right time ...and also be sure to eat their lunch which was excellent indeed!
