Industrial Reportage Photography — McMillan Coppersmiths, Scotland
I spent a day inside the workshops of McMillan Coppersmiths in Prestonpans, photographing the people who hand-shape copper whisky stills for distilleries around the world. Commissioned by The Angels’ Share Journal, it was a gloriously loud and unpredictable shoot—hammer blows ringing out as welding arcs flared without warning. The images were later used more widely by Briggs of Burton, owners of McMillan Coppersmiths.
