About Michael watz
A formally trained Senior corporate Chef and Corporate Director of Food & Beverage for multiple national restaurant brands who has recently retired.
My career and interests have provided me the opportunity to travel, further my education in community cuisines and learn photography.
As a photographer I have always been interested in the uniqueness of vintage products, food from all cultures and nature.
The photos which are included in this evolving portfolio represent travels and the communities which my wife and I have visited.
All photos are available in high quality prints. Please contact me directly with requests for a specific photo which isn’t listed under the Prints Heading.
