THE LOOK,
THE LIGHTING,
THE LOCATION.
Above, in-camera selective focus
was used to soften the lobby
interior and provide space for
copy.
The tasting room in action (right),
orchestrating models in multiple
directions and capturing the
moment.
More Shafer casual elegance
(lower right). When you have
models for 10 hours, how do you
make use of harsh noon light?
Shade and bounce.
Below, the perfect POV. The new
tasting room was scouted the
previous spring and later
photographed in peak fall color.

“Russ' many strengths were evident in all aspects of the planning and execution of the shoot, delivering it on time and on budget. His discerning eye makes him one of the best shooters I've worked with in my 30+ years in business. Highly recommended.”

It’s a family affair at Shafer. They treat everyone like family.
New digital techniques optimize tonal ranges in extreme light situations like this nocturnal “beauty light” image.
Normally this hillside is in shade while the vineyards are in morning light. This was easily overcome with a photoshop composite.
