Personal Project: floating wine

Continuing with my wine themed photos series, I present a bottle of wine floating above a sea of corks.

I've had this photo in my brain for quite some time. I've been collecting corks for some kind of photo for a couple years now without really knowing what I was going to do with them. Then it hit me to combine the floating shot with my huge box of corks. I hot-glued about 400 corks to a piece of black foam core board as the base. It took me a while to figure out a method to elevate the wine bottle when it suddenly hit me. Just glue some corks to the bottle.

Stryker wine is also one of my absolute favorite brands of wine. Sarah and I had the luxury of visiting the Stryker Winery last August and knew instantly that their wine is special. So special, we ordered a case to be shipped back. This wine simply melts in your mouth.

These shots are a larger scale and similar to my floating nut shot.
