Winemaker Portraits
by
Mattinson.
In an ideal world I’d get to take a picture of every winemaker and indeed every wine-related person in the world. I clamber and snatch at every opportunity that I get – which is, admittedly, seldom. Meanwhile, here is a collection of work and, where appropriate, some background information to the image(s). The background information could be wine related. It could be photography related. It could just be an anecdote. I’m a writer. I’m a photographer. This is a series of people photography work, in the area of wine.
This is also photography work, in the area of wine, in an era when the photographic documentation of wine people is at historically low levels. No one commissions photographers to take images of wine people anymore. In that context, by sad accident rather than by design, this ongoing series has its own (small) importance.
