At ETC Creative, representing food and lifestyle photographer Clayton Hauck keeps us all on our toes when the subject matter intersects one of our favorite things, culinary experiences in our local hood! We’re thrilled to celebrate the well-deserved recognition of Warlord Restaurant in CHICAGO as Best New Restaurant by Chicago Magazine!
In recent days, Clayton recently found himself dining at this dark, mysterious and delicious establishment, coinciding with its feature release—a nostalgic flashback to a month ago when he skillfully photographed the space.
Capturing the essence of Warlord presented a unique challenge, given its dimly lit ambiance. Yet, Clayton rose to the occasion, drawing on years of experience and a touch of serendipity to deliver a cover-worthy image amidst the bustling dining room.
We extend our gratitude to Trevor Fleming and the team at Warlord for their warm hospitality, as well as to @thephotopersuasion & @davidsyrek at Chicago for their trust and support!
