About Eric Wolfinger:
Eric Wolfinger is a San Francisco based photographer. Since graduating from Pomona College in 2004 with a BA in Politics, he has worked in San Francisco to pursue his interests in photography and professional cooking. After stints at restaurants in the Bay area, Wolfinger apprenticed with Chad Robertson to become one of Tartine's bread bakers. His camera style draws on Mexican/Chicano muralists in rendering the dignity and despair in the struggles of working people and on contemporary food photography for its clear forms and vibrant colors.
