Portrait photography of cannabis - 5 original photos
This was not a typical photoshoot for us, but even cannabis farmers need good marketing photography.
The owners of this farm are in the process of upscaling, and since banks are still not an option for anyone working in the cannabis industry, they need to be able to attract private investors.
This farm focuses only on 'flower', which means their grow standards are extremely high. Each of these flowers is competing in a very crowded marketplace for the top shelf in California dispensaries.
It was our responsibility to showcase the natural beauty of these strains. Unlike most cannabis photography they did not want super tight macro images of trichomes, this shoot was about taking professional head-shots of these girls.
Playboy style pin-up photography but with medicine...

These are gorgeous flowers, man! I assume this sis sun dep crop about to come down. We might be able to give you a slight push with @canna-curate.
Harvest is in three days, or before the temps get to 106.
They def are some of the prettiest flowers I have seen :)
All beautiful ladies! Very nice work and some beautiful photos! Happy steeming!
Very nice photos! Would love if you came and took pics of my plants for my posts lol
I'd absolutely love to shoot for a Steemit farmer. What part of the (non-specific) world are you in? :)
Well since I only have a few plants it would be a waste of your time,lol. I live on the Central Coast of California. TO be precise Salinas
I love that area, what an incredible history. Next time thru my plan is to go with a film camera. How's the grow scene down there?
Well I’m in my own little worl between work and my family so I don’t interact with any growers besides on steemit. But Monterey county is going to be the largest cannabis producer in the state! Green houses are popping up left and right! Pretty crazy. And as far as wine IMO we have the best Pinot Noir in the state. Particularly from the SAnta Lucia Highlands made by the small time farmers👍
Nice! I always love a good pinot recommendation! Lovely to meet you btw, if you're ever in norcal we would be thrilled to take you on a cannabis farm tour. They take it very seriously up here, more so than even the wine I think.
Oh yeah I bet they do, but wine and cannabis is defiantly a norcal thing, which thats what lots of people consider my area to be a part of, which im on the fence about that, definitely almost same culture though! Thank you.
This plant seems up to impressing us humans in every way. It would have been nice if you included the names of these plants too!!
I'm as new on Steemit as this Black Malawi plant growing bt my windowsill. This is the most common variety one can find in Zimbabwe.

From Zimbabwe to California, this plant has incited the passion of so many.
The name of the strain is Sunset Sherbert. Thanks for sharing and saying hello.
