About our cover photographer

The images on our cover and for this story are by Scott Peterson, an artist who has brought polish and finesse to countless menus, advertisements, and editorial spreads through decades of work in commercial food photography. He’s a master in the art of capturing the vibrant colors, textures, and stories behind every dish, making food not just seen but truly savored.

Recently, Peterson has been delving into fine art landscape photography—a direction that arose from a deep need to come to grips with the changing world. As part of this evolving photographic journey, he launched a newsletter (find it on Substack @scottpetersonimages) and a fresh new website at spetersonphoto.com, both offering intimate looks at his projects, insights, and inspirations.

When not behind the camera, Peterson enjoys exploring local food scenes, playing banjo, discovering hidden gems on his motorcycle, and sharing these experiences through both image and word.
