The New Sous - a photo series by Nick Hillier - JOSEPH.

When Nick Hillier contacted us a few months ago wanting to do a photo series on London-based sous chefs, we jumped at it. Head chefs, understandably, get the spotlight and praise when a restaurant does well. But chat to any of them and they’ll invariably praise their team as invaluable to that success. 

And so to four rising stars of London’s food scene, all doing brilliant things in their own right. We’ve kept info about them to a minimum, to allow Nick’s photography, and the chefs, to shine.

This is the final part of a 4-part series, which also features Thomas Ward of Popham’s, Aika Levins of The Barbary and The Barbary Next Door and Marios Lathourakis of The Waterhouse Project.


JOSEPH.

Joseph Carvell is the Junior Sous / Pitmaster at Smokestak. He’s passionate about the whole process of preparing brisket - from trimming before smoking, to cutting the final product. Every brisket is different, so he feels lucky to be in a job where he can improve every day.


Nick Hillier is a Canadian portrait and documentary photographer living in London. He loves capturing real and intimate moments with his subjects and revealing a side to people, places and things that we don't often see.
