Jiko Restaurant
Visual Stylist / Composition: Nick Ysenburg
Chef: Richie Barrow
Client: Tribe Hotel
We photographed for the Jiko shortly after its reopening, capturing the spirit of a kitchen where tradition meets innovation. Led by a remarkably creative chef Richie, the shoot brought to life a seasonal menu inspired by open-flame cooking and rooted in African ingredients. Each dish was thoughtfully styled to reflect the restaurant's playful approach to presentation while honoring local farmers and fresh, organic produce. Through vibrant colors, bold textures, and expressive plating, our visuals aimed to showcase the chef's artistry and Jiko's unique balance of authenticity, imagination, and warmth.
