Wine Tasting & Networking

I always respect and admire people who can smell and taste a glass of wine and correctly identify the flavours and ingredients used to make it. My palate just isn’t refined enough. With me, it’s a more simple question of whether or not I like a wine!

Anyway, I was invited along by one of my clients to capture an evening of wine tasting they had arranged for some of their clients, at the rather cool St Martin’s Lane Hotel in London.

The evening was spent in two very different rooms. The first was very dark and atmospheric, whilst the second room was bright and airy. So I needed to light up the dark room with some off-camera flash, which helped illuminate people’s faces without killing the atmosphere in the room. The second room didn’t need any additional light, even though it was later in the evening.

Here are some of my favourite images from that night:
