Vintage Cakes for Ten Speed Press!  I loved collaborating with Julie Richardson of Baker and Spice on this book- she and her recipes are wonderful. Check out her bakery next time you’re in Portland- if only she would open an outpost in my SF neighborhood! Of course this was a great gig because we ate cake everyday, but I especially loved working with this fantastic team- a big thanks to Robyn Valarik for food styling, Ethel Brennan on props and art director Toni Tajima.

a glimpse of portugal

After a crazy and wonderful few months of non-stop assignments, I’m here in Portugal, shooting up a storm, but also relaxing and reminiscing about living here 10 years ago. At that time, I was mostly working on organic farms and was just starting to move away from painting towards photography. I shot slide film with a really simple camera and had it developed along the way….back in the days when even small towns processed E-6 film…Portugal is incredibly beautiful and interesting- here are a handful of Iphone pics…”real” images to come soon. I do love the looseness and unpredictability of Iphone pictures- and that I’m not thinking much about the pictures I take, nor am I attached to their outcome. More than anything, they serve as a sketchbook of ideas, and a good reminder to be a bit more free in my approach.

Interview with POP:Photo

Alison McCreery at POP (Photographers on Photography) recently interviewed me and featured my work- you can check it out here. I really appreciate her insight and kind words about my work: “Kunkel has a painter’s eye for color, light and composition and a beauty that comes from presence and deep observation matched with a seemingly effortless  technical sophistication that give her images an authenticity much in demand by both editorial and advertising clients. Infused with a sense of possibility and adventure both in the faraway and the everyday, her photos make one want to inhabit the life she captures and definitely tag along on some of her journeys.”



Check out her blog to read the interview and see all the images. Thanks again Alison!

big sur is the cure…

I’ve been on the road for the last month in British Columbia and Colorado, two of my favorite places in the world. But, these sunny, warm January days back in California are hard to beat. Here is a recent outtake from Big Sur, the lovely Treebones Resort. A few days in Big Sur was the perfect getaway before I head into the studio for the next month to work on a new cookbook for Williams-Sonoma, and to shoot the summer line for Carve Designs.
