Generate a photorealistic, high-resolution image of a skilled professional chef. The chef is wearing an immaculate, crisply pressed white chef's coat and a classic tall white toque, standing confidently in a state-of-the-art, contemporary professional kitchen. The kitchen features gleaming stainless steel surfaces, clean lines, and warm, inviting overhead lighting. In the foreground, prominently displayed on a polished dark stone or pristine white counter, are several meticulously and artfully plated gourmet dishes. These dishes should showcase vibrant colors, delicate garnishes, and sophisticated culinary presentation, captured with a professional food photography aesthetic, utilizing a medium shot and soft, natural lighting.
