Photographs of Oeno Wines in Cirencester designed by Millar Howard Workshop

By Quintin Lake

August 26, 2010 //

An assignment from architects Millar Howard Workshop to photograph their new shop design for Oeno Wines in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The design centres around a new racking system incorporating storage and lighting. The idea developed with the client was to place the bottles in a large array and then light the bottle labels and the ‘barkers’ each with an individual LED. The shop is a celebration of a huge variety of wines sourced direct from the growers.

The main challenge photographically was to convey a sense of space in confined surroundings and deal with the very high contrast lighting environment whilst showing of the details and materials of the refined design.

Two boys – Huw Charles and Stefan Lacny – achieved 11 A*s each.
