Episode 153: Photographer Penny De Los Santos

On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, photographer Penny De Los Santos has been contributing insight into our world’s food traditions through her lens. Seen in National Geographic and Saveur magazines, her images speak for themselves (her powerful TEDx talk speaks volumes as well). Traveling to over 30 countries on assignment, from photographing a single meal in Beirut during Ramadan, to spending time with citrus vendors on the Tex-Mex border, Penny doesn’t blur the line where food and culture meet- she gives it her utmost focus.
