Williams Sonoma Cooks Catalogue and for Epicurious
.

Early life

Yanes was born in Fomento, Cuba, on February 17, 1959. His father, Abraham, worked as an auto mechanic; his mother, Caridad (Nieblas), was employed as a seamstress. He and family left Cuba via Freedom Flights when he was eight years old; they ultimately relocated to Weehawken, New Jersey. His interest in photography was piqued when he took a course on it in high school. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City during the early 1980s. After graduating, he worked as the manager of a photo studio.[2]

Career

Yanes began his photography career assisting

Carl Fisher (whom Stern introduced to him).[3] He later continued his career at Condé Nast's publication Gourmet. He went on to be the staff photographer there for over twenty-five years,[2] before the publication shut down in 2009.[4] The magazine won the National Magazine Award for general excellence in 2004, its leading accolade, which was followed by awards in the photography category in 2005 and 2008.[2]

Yanes photographed for 35 publications,[3] including some of the food and dining photographs for Hillary Clinton's 2000 book An Invitation to the White House (which featured many photographers overall) and a book on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis titled Cooking for Madam Recipes and Reminiscences from the Home of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis by Marta Sgubin.[2]

Yanes' photography appeared in international magazines, not only Gourmet and Bon Appetit,[2] but also Martha Stewart Living,[5] Everyday Food, Cooking Light, Health and GQ,[3][6] among others. He also played a small role as a gourmet photographer in the 2001 movie Dinner with Friends, which featured Dennis Quaid, Andie MacDowell, Toni Collette and Greg Kinnear.[7][8]

Personal life

Yanes was married to Robert Schaublin-Yanes until the former's death. Yanes died on June 16, 2021, at his home in

peritoneal cancer prior to his death.[2]
