Erin Kunkel, who shot our feature on the fishing family behind Lakeside’s Hawaiian fish program, is an award-winning photographer who works around the world and calls the foggy outerlands of San Francisco home. When she’s not behind the camera, she can be found gardening, cooking, and dreaming of warm-water surf destinations. She has photographed more than 40 cookbooks, and worked with clients like Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, and Travel + Leisure. “I always love shooting in Hawaii,” says Kunkel, “but this trip combined several of my favorite things—working with a great chef, amazing food, and high-seas adventures. I especially loved getting a local’s perspective on Hana, where [the fisherman] Greggie and his family showed us remote beaches, took us fishing, and had a pig roast!”
