Louka Tordjman: a local prodigy
This project meant a lot to us. Louka is a childhood friend with an incredible amount of grit and a genuine passion for cooking, carving out his own path in the industry. Capturing him at work was both an incredible experience and a unique challenge, a fast-moving kitchen, there’s rarely time to perfect the frame, pull focus, and politely ask the chef to do it again.
Simeon Herlin
a good friend, colleague, and talented photographer, was behind the stills for this shoot. He has a way of capturing things from perspectives others might overlook, using unconventional close-ups, textures, and creative framing to bring out the character in every image.
Backing the People Who Build
Paterson Pictures took on this project because it represents something we strongly believe in: creatives should support creatives. Louka is carving his own path through a craft he genuinely cares about, and we had the tools to help tell that story.
