“Quietly intimate, the photos that make up Smoking Chefs hum with a sense of behind the scenes stillness that keeps us going back to them time and time again.”

“Simultaneously intimate, voyeuristic, weary, sad and timeless.”

"Enkelmann’s cinematic approach to something so human and relatable makes it difficult to look away."
– Plain Magazine
 
"If you are going to make photographs on the streets, make them this good!"
– Julie Grahame, aCurator.com
