Marketing & Promotions (Week 3)

            I've returned from California and I'm excited with the work that I have brought back. I came out with seven different portraits of people who work in some sort of craft. The focus of this set is from the beer and wine industry.

            I traveled to the California wine country to photograph at The Bell Wine Cellars and the Francis Ford Coppela Winery. At these locations I had the privilege of photographing the managers of both, the lead wine maker, and a wine educator. The next day I photographed at two popular California breweries, E.J Phair and Laganitas. I was able to photograph an owner at E.J Phair and the two head brewers at Laganitas. Later than night, I was able to photograph a upcoming star in the painting world. Danika is a young painter who has really started to make her mark. She has won several painting contests and makes the majority of her money selling her paintings.

            These people could talk all day about their craft. They were kind enough to take time out of their day to let me photograph them and their product as well as teach me the basics of their craft. Therefore, I decided to pair a photograph of their craft with the portrait that was taken of them.
