“Gabriel H. Sanchez, photo editor at the New York Times, commissioned me to do this story on Asian-American grocery store chain H Mart. This ended up being my first food cover section, and it was one of my favorite assignments Gabriel’s given me to date! I basically ran around the supermarket making photographs—it was super fun! I also really love Gabriel’s layout of the story; the diptychs were a cool idea that he brought to life in the edit.”
