Henry Hargreaves is a photographer, artist and relentless maker of cool, interesting and unexpected things. He was born and raised in New Zealand with a passion both for photography and for good food and wine. Starting his career as a model, Hargreaves was able to travel the world, discover great cuisines and work with photography icons, such as Stephen Meisel, Mario Testino and Richard Avedon. Drawn to New York City and its art and culinary scene, he set up his studio and pursued his dream to be a photographer. When Hargreaves became a bartender on the side at the downtown institution Schillers Liquor Bar, he took an interest in how customers interacted with food, and decided to fuse the worlds of art and food to represent visually what he was experiencing every day at the restaurant and in his culinary explorations. In his projects, he uses photography to move beyond the immediate pleasure of food to explore the broader meaning of how we interact with this fundamental building block of life and culture.
