Infamous in both photography circles and bars across the country, Aaron Ingrao is on a whiskey-soaked multi-year journey across the country to document the lives and passions of America's hardest-working bartenders (and to squeeze in some quality mountain biking along the way). I shot this for a liquor.com story about Aaron's trip in his vintage trailer and his dog Luke (who he claims was named after me) to tell the story of America's craft cocktail revival and the bartenders behind it as part of his project Keepers of The Craft.
Aaron was briefly home in Buffalo for a visit that coincided with the story, so we met up at Ballyhoo, one of our favorite local bars, to shoot these portraits. I don't remember much of what happened after the shoot, but I think it involved a bottle of Four Roses.
