I had a photo shoot at Trinchero Family Estates (which includes the Sutter Home label) today as part of a video project documenting their incredible rate of diversion of solid waste from going to landfill. They are up to 90% waste diversion at this facility in Napa.Here's a bottling line shot.

I took this on location at the Duchamp Slaughterhouse in Headlsburg, CA during a video shoot with +Melissa Kester +Cory Johnson and +John Getchel
I actually think it's the best photo I've ever taken. It's cropped at 16:9 because it will be dropped into the movie and it must match the video format.
72" Elenchrom octa-box above camera and a 24" soft-box bellow camera.

I've been in a time warp for the last 2 weeks writing, shooting, directing and producing this short film with NO budget. The only reason it looks great is thanks to some of my G+ partners +Neil Kremer +Cory Johnson and +John Getchel. It takes a talented village to make a short movie! Hope you guys will watch it - its only 3.5 minutes and it moves quick with great music....
