​Latinada 2019 brought the vibrant flavors, passionate chefs, and lively spirit of Latin America to Singapore. As Southeast Asia’s first Latin American food festival, Latinada was a culinary celebration that united chefs, food lovers, and culture enthusiasts for an unforgettable experience. I was tasked with covering the entire festival, from capturing the essence of each dish to filming chef collaborations and documenting the energy of every event.

Latinada 2019 celebrated the diversity of Latin American cuisine, with each chef bringing unique interpretations of traditional dishes to the festival. Through my photography, I highlighted the colors, textures, and presentation of each dish, showcasing the authenticity and creativity that each chef brought to their craft. From smoky grilled meats to vibrant ceviches, every shot was a window into the heart of Latin American cooking, inviting viewers to experience the flavors through the visuals.
Spotlighting the Chefs Behind the Scenes
One of the key elements of Latinada was the collaborative spirit among chefs from around the world, each bringing their distinct Latin American heritage and techniques. My work included documenting these chefs both in action and behind the scenes, capturing candid moments, creative processes, and the camaraderie that made Latinada 2019 so special. Each portrait and shot was crafted to reflect the passion and skill that each chef poured into their dishes.
