Sierra Reed
I took over 350 photos of winemaker Sierra Reed – for the article here – and I’d be the first to admit that I’m not entirely happy with any of them. None of them make me nod and say, That’s Sierra. She’s a force to be reckoned with, a force of wine good, but so far the substance of that force has eluded my camera.
That said, I’m not a great fan of bright green colours in photographs, a problem given that vineyards are often involved. But the harmony of the colours in the image above do work surprisingly well. And Sierra’s pose comes across as wonderfully proud, and powerful, and true to who she is.
I do appreciate the negative space of the image of Sierra, in her winery, below. This is a) my kind of image and b) the kind of image that gets lost in a modern social media world. More’s the pity.
There’s a bit of a half-arsed video of Sierra here.
