EMILY WILSON攝影師PHOTOGRAPHER

五年前， Emily Wilson舉家搬遷到拉斯維加斯。「隨著年齡的增長，我對攝影藝術的追求也愈發精益求精。」Wilson說。「我的一貫思路就是要準確地捕捉人物或事件的精髓，挖掘更深層次的內涵。我工作中很重要的一部分就是聚焦實幹家和夢想家的心路歷程。」這期雜誌她來到永利拉斯維加斯的「泓」日本料理，用快門記錄下行政主廚Bryan Emperor在廚房裡揮灑自如的瞬間。「為了這次拍攝， Bryan主廚特意烹製了令人驚歎的菜餚，」Wilson激動地說。「我熱衷於學習烹飪的細節——問了他很多關於米飯製作的問題！從精緻的軟裝內飾到眼前的迷人景色，『泓』日本料理的環境實在令人驚嘆。」

Emily Wilson and her family moved to Las Vegas five years ago. “As I evolve, so does my art,” Wilson says. “One continuing thread through all of it has been to capture the energy of a person or event, the deeper story. An important part of what I do is spotlighting the journey of doers and dreamers.” For this issue she photographed Executive Chef Bryan Emperor in the kitchen at Mizumi at The Wynn Las Vegas. “Chef Bryan composed some really stunning dishes for the shoot,” Wilson says. “I love learning about specific processes—i asked him a lot of questions about the rice! The dining room at Mizumi is breathtaking, from the custom linens to the magical view.”
