"  Dutch-Amsterdam Student Kitchen Wolterink starts out by photographing each cupboard, drawer, and appliance, which takes anywhere from four to eight hours and results in 15 to 30 shots. He then pieces together each of those individual photos to complete the kitchen as a whole, which takes another six hours because he works with film instead of digital. &amp;quot;Finding the kitchens is the most difficult part of the project,&amp;quot; Wolterink says. &amp;quot;The inside of your kitchen is quite intimate.&amp;quot; He visits each kitchen two times: first, to scout the kitchen design and speak with the owners, the next, to take the pictures. He always asks the owners not to clean up before hand. &amp;quot;The central theme of Kitchen Portraits is &amp;#039;The kitchen as a metaphor of a complex multicultural reality,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Wolterink says. By visiting kitchens of people of different ethnic backgrounds, he says that he was able to see that every kitchen has a different character and is a very personal space.
