The Chihuahuan desert is home to a wild harvested spirit called Sotol. The spiny plant grows on the rugged hillsides of the region and is still carefully gathered using donkeys. After learning about this amazing process, Johnny and crew set out on a road trip to document the people revitalizing this once prohibited tradition.
With over a decade of experience in the world of food and beverage photography, Johnny and Charlotte Autry are a creative force in the industry.
