Photojournalist Documents Last Meals Of Executed Prisoners

Photojournalist Jonathon Kambouris lives in New York and has been shooting editorial and commercial assignments.

He has created a series, “Last Meals,” which “visually documents the face and last meal of convicted killers. I created this project to explore the interesting and unique relationship humans have with food and used the last meal as a metaphor to raise questions about the death penalty,” he said.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice used to document a prisoner’s last meal on its Website until 2003, when the list was taken down amid criticism. A page capture of that list can be viewed here.
