About This Project
Photographing for Straight Bourbon: Distilling the Industry’s Heritage took me to copper workshops small and large. To capture the craft heritage of the industries that support the bourbon industry I wanted to find workshops that handcrafted the copper, steel and brass items used in distilling, and when possible also had a historic history with the industry. I found all of the above.
