Connor Gabbott
Originally a chef by trade, Connor Gabbott spent over a decade working in professional kitchens before he ever found himself thinking about hunting. A chef-led movement that celebrated whole animal butchery and cooking led Connor to consider the source of his food more deeply, eventually leading to an obsession with hunting, cooking, and sharing wild game.
Today, Connor works primarily as a photographer, capturing hunts and other adventures with his camera. He’s also an avid hunter who’s still sourcing his own meat and creating stunning dishes with it.
