ProStart® Invitational
Photographer Frank Barnett photographed teams of students representing their state restaurant association's ProStart® Invitational program in Seattle, Washington. The three day event required photographing students in the commercial kitchen where the judging took place. Each team prepared three dishes: a starter, a main course and a dessert. Every dish was propped and photographed by Barnett. Then group portraits of all of the state’s competing teams were taken. Throughout the event, the culinary students and the photographer took off on daily city-wide photo sessions that included downtown Seattle, Pike Place Market and the wharf.

This year was an amazing success in spite of the gray skies and rain. Hey, it’s Portland! Everyone who participated gave hope to the four million Americans who are living with Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis.
