The Pisco Kid

The June issue of San Francisco Magazine features a shoot I did with Duggan McDonnell, co founder of Cantina one of the city's most popular cocktail havens. This was a great shoot, my first with Alejandro Chavetta, San Francisco magazine's Art Director.  McDonnell was an easy subject arriving full of Californian enthusiasm and ready to show off his new Pisco (a peruvian liquor) which will be in stores this month.  We shot at Cask a high end liquor store in downtown San Francisco, a veritable candy store for the liquor connoisseur. We also shot in the Tenderloin district where McDonnell's favorite old school liquor sign could be found. A taste test of Encanto was included and proved popular with the Irish photographer. McDonnell's new Pisco Campo de Encanto will be in stores this month.

Thanks to Ceri Garfield for photo assistance on this shoot.
