Culinary Documentary — Port of India

Good spices come from knowing hands. Working with Port of India gave me the chance to slow down and spend time with the people who carry these recipes, and I found myself drawn to the small things: a mortar and pestle worn smooth from years of grinding fresh spice, a pinch of masala tossed into a hot skillet, a bowl of golden dal steaming at the table.

I wanted these photographs to feel the way home cooking actually feels: unstyled, generational and full of care. It's the kind of work I love most as a food photographer in Montréal — following a dish back to the hands and traditions behind it.
