Chester Photographer Ian Southerin visited Covino, Chester.

Covino is a tiny wine bar in Rufus Court, Chester possibly the smallest bar in town.

It’s the type of place where you can wander in for a soothing glass of red after a long day at the office, sit at the bar and start chatting with fellow wine lovers or in my case people who have no idea about wine and just drink whatever Chris recommends. It is a friendly place with interesting people.

Chris is the owner and host. His background is ‘all about wine’. Previously he was a wine importer and distributor, in fact you can buy some of Chris’s choice of wines to take home.

So, why shoot a ‘non commissioned’ piece of work ?

It allows you the freedom to shoot what you like, make up your own brief and be as creative as you like. Some ideas work, and some don’t, it is a great way to improve your shooting skills. As a Chester photographer, I’m grateful to Chris for his time and patience, our shoot took about an hour, one of the reasons clients choose Location Photography is because we don’t ‘faff around’. We get great results quickly with no fuss.

The one shot we forgot to shoot was a picture of Chris using a cork screw to remove a cork from a bottle, we’ll be back 🙂
