Photographer for Wineries

For wineries and vineyards

Billie shoots the bottles, the tasting room, the vineyard and the people, with the same eye for light across all of it.

On the shoot

Light across the rows

Vineyards look best in low morning and evening light, so outdoor work is scheduled around sunrise and the last hours of the day, with the winery and cellar door filmed in the middle of the day.

Alcohol advertising rules

Wine advertising in New Zealand is covered by the Advertising Standards Authority’s alcohol advertising code, so casting, scenes and captions are planned with it in mind from the start.

The service

Billie shoots stills the same way it shoots film: with a clear idea, careful light and an eye for the frame. Artist portraits, campaign imagery, posters and behind-the-scenes stills can be shot on their own or alongside a video project.

What’s included

Artist and studio portraits
Campaign and product stills
Posters and key art
Behind-the-scenes coverage
Retouched, web-ready files

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a cellar door that needs a regular flow of short-form content and a few finished pieces. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a winery covering harvest, releases, a restaurant or events across the year, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger wine brand with trade and export audiences. A single brand film is quoted as Bespoke Production, and weddings or launches at the vineyard can be produced by Billie Private, quoted per project.
