How to Photograph a Vineyard

Most of the vineyards in the world are in stunning locations. If you are lucky enough to travel to wine regions you will see landscapes and views that just demand to be photographed. Yet, rows of vines in their winter state can look like rows of sticks, and in their summer state can simply end up looking like a sea of green. If you travel through different wine regions in the world, taking photographs wherever you go, soon enough you will notice that all your pictures end up looking the same, that's unless you are a professional.

So, two tips for taking fine vineyard pictures:
1) Get some height ... take a ladder with you, climb up on a wall or on a pick-up truck ... whatever you do, get above the vines, which can be as much as four or five feet high.
2) Look for something to include in your picture that gives a sense of place - this could be a building (e.g. an old church or vineyard cabin in Europe) or it could be a different plant/tree (large cacti in Chile or a gum tree in Australia).

For inspiration, check out the largest collection of wine photographs in the world on the Cephas Picture Library website. All pictures are strictly copyright of course, but you would be amazed how reasonably priced it is to obtain the use of a selection of pictures for your website or magazine. Vineyard pictures that have been taken by professional photographers can be truly awesome.
