HUGH FORTE is a self-taught photographer whose work was born from traveling and wanting to document the life playing out around him. Although Hugh focuses most of his energy on wedding and lifestyle photography, he created Sprouted Kitchen as a gift to Sara so that they would have a creative outlet together, and he has since begun to experiment with a fresh approach to the art of food photography. With an aesthetic inspired largely by the natural beauty of the subject, his eye pairs well with Sara’s cooking style. Hugh’s work has been recognized by Smithsonian, Photo District News, and Condé Nast Traveler. While photography is both his profession and his passion, Hugh’s time is also invested in great books, fun waves, and the pursuit of a really good cup of coffee.
