Anne Saxelby's 'Saxelby Cheesemongers' shop in New York's Essex Street Market has received an unprecedented amount of attention and success. Her fuss-free UK-inspired bread, cheese and chutney sandwiches have been essential to her menu, now ordered on daily by repeat customers.
The Selby's interest in Saxelby Cheesemongers speaks to NYC's love of the stand-meets-restaurant. Upon graduating from New York University where she studied studio art, she took up her interest in cheese making on American and French farms. As her technique is authentic and her knowledge superb, she has become a relative dairy guru in the region.
Todd Selby picks up on Saxelby's precision in his photo series as he took up close shots of her knives, stacked shelves and intricate displays, always presented to the public in an orderly fashion.
