CONTACT ME

Thank you so much for your interest in my work.  I am based in the Napa Valley in Northern California, but specialize in photographic documentary projects for the wine industry all around the world.

My entire career has been surrounded by wine and food. Over my 20+ years of industry experience, I've held a number of positions including Corporate Wine Director for the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, Head Sommelier of Per Se, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Araujo Estate Wines, and Estate Director of Mayacamas Vineyards. 

This broad experience in and around wine production, viticulture, and luxury brand marketing allows me to provide a true insider's perspective through my photographs.  I aim to take simple, strong pictures that are romantic, but not romanticized… Artistic but realistic. 

As a commercial photographer, there is nothing I enjoy more than documenting a year in the life of a winery - charting the beauty of the seasons in the vineyard, the craft of workers, and the energy of a harvest. While I focus primarily on deep, long-term projects for a small number of clients, I am open to discussing any ideas you might have.

If you would like to discuss a potential collaboration, for a more complete collection of my work, or to inquire about purchasing prints, please fill out the contact form or email at jimmy@jbhphoto.co.  I'll return your message straight away.
