A Selection of Photos (and Outtakes) from "Raw Beauty" in the Improper Bostonian Summer Dining Issue

Summer is most certainly here. No doubt about it. All I'm craving right now are things that don't involve the stove.

I recently photographed this spread of raw dishes from local restaurants for our alternative magazine, the Improper Bostonian. I wish I could take credit for the beauty of these images, but all of that goes to the talented chefs who prepared them: Will Gilson of Puritan (vegetable crudités), Rachel Klein of Liquid Art House (hamachi), Robert Sisca of Bistro du Midi (lamb tartar), Todd Winer of Pastoral (albacore crudo), Cassie Piuma of Sarma (Tunisian steak tartar), Leo Asaro of Tico (razor clam ceviche).

WELCOME! Thanks for stopping off at A Thought For Food. I'm Brian, a food and beverage photographer, and I launched this blog in 2009 as a way to share my vegetarian and pescatarian recipes and post some random thoughts on food (hence the name) and stuff that's going on in my life (like a journal!!!).

I'm based in Boston and live with my husband, Eric, and our dog, Maki (named after the sushi). You may see them pop up in photos once in a while (though, if not here, definitely on Instagram).

Hope you enjoy your time on my site and that you leave feeling inspired to cook!
