In the Press

Rachel Paraoan’s photography has been featured by press outlets covering the DC-area dining scene, with images selected to represent both the food and the chefs behind them. These placements matter because editors choose photos that communicate a story quickly, often under tight deadlines, and the work has to hold up across web formats and print-style layouts. For Chonky Cat Media, press use is a standard part of our process: we deliver clean, publication-ready selects with consistent color and accurate detail, then provide files that are easy for PR teams to place and credit correctly. This post collects a few recent examples and links to the original coverage.
