I photographed a series of stills for Valley Rising, a new event launching late this November in the Hunter Valley NSW, focusing on the next generation of winemakers. The shoot captured the region’s relaxed energy and raw beauty, from golden afternoon light over the vines to candid moments between winemakers.

My focus was on translating the spirit of camaraderie amongst the next generation of winemakers in the Valley into imagery that feels both grounded and vibrant, showcasing the community, landscape, and creativity driving this inaugural celebration.
