Photographer/Director duo Corey + Emily Critser recently brought their signature warmth and authenticity to an editorial assignment for The Local Palate, capturing Chef Eric Niel in his element. The story centers on his take on the perfect prime rib — a dish rooted in tradition, elevated by craft.
Shot with an emphasis on natural light, rich texture, and honest detail, the images highlight both the artistry of the finished plate and the character behind it. From quiet prep moments in the kitchen to the final, beautifully carved presentation, Corey + Emily’s photography balances atmosphere with appetite appeal.
The result is a visual narrative that feels intimate and inviting — celebrating culinary expertise while honoring the sense of place and personality that define Chef Niel’s approach.
