All of the photos in the Sonoma County Series were taken from 2014-2017 in the heart of wine country, Sonoma County, California. Due to the Tubbs Fire of 2017, much of the landscape has changed. I am honored to have been able to capture a piece of the wine country before the wildfires devastated the area. Please enjoy my interpretation of Sonoma County. Shop for prints from the Sonoma County, California Series and buy art prints on canvas, fine art paper, metal and more.
For three years I had the privilege of living and working in Sonoma County, California. While I worked for the Economic Development Board (EDB), I was commissioned to photograph Sonoma County, culminating in a set of large canvas prints for the office. I set out to capture, in photos, the influence and impact of the EDB on the county, and immediately realized that Sonoma County wasn’t just wine country, and that the scope of the project mirrored the culture of the county itself: Complex. As I started to photograph Sonoma County, I focused on reflecting the diversity of Sonoma County’s economy as a backdrop for what EDB represents. I took this project as an opportunity to explore the landscape of Sonoma County. By visiting its businesses, I had the pleasure of meeting with the people that work, do business, and live in Sonoma County. With class and curiosity, each of the presented sets of photographs illustrates the diversity within the many commingling economies of Sonoma County. Enjoy!
