I shot Evelene Montaño in the studio in Footscray. This was a basic photoshoot but the images were perfect for her portfolio. This is mostly a two-light set-up though some of the best images were a one-light set-up. The whole shoot took an hour but we produced 15-20 images that were ready for professional use. All images were shot on the Sony A1, and all were with the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art.
Evelene Montaño is also in the trial video footage here.
This article was written by Campbell Mattinson, former chief editor of the Halliday Wine Companion book, former editor of Halliday magazine, former editor of Australian Sommelier Magazine and founder of the highly respected The Winefront site.
Mattinson has been an independent wine critic and photo-journalist since 1987. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award; is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter; and is the author of the best-selling novel We Were Not Men. He’s also a winner of a St Kilda Film Festival Award (as writer-director) and is a former winner of the prized Best Australian Sports Writing Award.
Mattinson, who is 100% independent, puts a score out of 100 on every wine that he reviews. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
