Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, it’s essential to slow down and find joy in the simple things. San Francisco-based food and lifestyle photographers Trinette + Chris Reed’s project for Kinfolk magazine reminded me of this sentiment.
The story is inspired by two individuals that Trinette and Chris met at their local farmer’s market. The pair own an organic fermented food business called Wild West Ferments. They have a cabin in Point Reyes where they harvest all their own food and cook over a hearth fireplace. Trinette and Chris spent a few days cooking, chatting, hiking, photographing, and enjoying great food with friends.
Trinette produced the shoot and friend Veronica Sooley did the prop styling. The main challenge was the thin editorial budget. However, Trinette said that this kept the shoot very real and authentic which is what they were going for visually.
Trinette and Chris were both inspired by the talent’s commitment to local organic food:
Living in a cabin in nature in Point Reyes, foraging for mushrooms in the forest, and cooking meals over an open flame, there is something very aspirational to us in that. The shoot inspired us and made us want to move farther out in the country and simplify our life.
The photos are running in Kinfolk and will be featured on Storehouse soon as well.
