"When photographing food, one must ensure the viewer finds adventure on the plate."

Successful international food photographer Thomas Schauer opened his office in New York City in 2001. He has worked for well-known clients such as David Bouley, Wegmans, American Photo, Daniel Boulud, ECCO Harper Collins Publishers, Grand Marnier, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, New York Times and Tracy Locke.

His pictures complement many international cookbooks, including 'Made in Spain' for the Washington DC-based Spanish chef José Andrés, "Braising" with NYC chef Daniel Boulud, "East of Paris" for David Bouley and a new cookbook in Germany for Mario Lohninger at 'Silk' restaurant, Frankfurt.

Thomas' latest project, a book for Nespresso with 22 chefs, will be presented in November.
