wino

My friend, B., runs a website:
OfficialWinery.com
She offers vineyards and wineries around the country a networking outlet between those in the industry, and aficionados. The website offers reviews, articles and listings, and soon, will include photography as an offering to potential advertisers.
I'm that photographer (depending on how they like my work).
Yesterday, I got to go to Bookcliff Vineyards in Boulder for my first shoot.
The thing about this shoot that was challenging, is that I was photographing a winery without grapes. (The grapes are grown by Bookcliff at their Palisade location, but they were currently not in a production cycle; still the winery is open for tours and tastings--I HIGHLY recommend checking them out.) Nevertheless, I tried to incorporate the texture of wine into lighting and color as much as possible. The reflections in the place were amazing; although the surfaces in the winery were mostly stainless steel, they seemed to elaborate on the complexity of wine. John Garlich, the owner and winemaker, showed me around. What struck me most about this man was the genuine interest and pride in his winemaking process and outstanding product (believe me, she had really nice legs.......)

Here are some shots.

  1. holy cow, these are great shots, you really captured the process, & the man behind the process. I like the focal points, use of natural light, and composition. Nice work again Kate!
