Photography of drinks for the smallest distillery in Ireland

Photographing Killowen Distillery’s range of drinks.

Tough job but someone has got to do it …… Having bought and tasted Killowen’s gin already, I was very pleased when in early November I was asked to photograph Killowen Distillery’s range of drinks.

The scenic drive from my studio in Newcastle Co. Down to Killowen, on the other side of the Mourne Mountains, proved that I was in for a treat. The views from Killowen Distillery are stunning. The distillery itself is compact and full of character. Thanks to Brendan the owner and his assistant Hugh for making me feel so at home and providing fab coffee to start me off.

As soon as I entered the distillery I knew I would like to make use of the warm earthy colours of the distillery tanks. Because of the nature of the products, I had intended to use rustic surfaces/colours for the drinks. The whiskey barrels at the distillery together with my beautiful wood panels that I had taken to the shoot with me provided the perfect backdrop for this photoshoot.

The short documentary video below is a small representation of the photos taken on that day. Killowen Distillery will be launching many more of their products soon and I’ll upload new photographs whenever the products are launched.
