Brazilian photographer Marcos Alberti decided to use his passion for wine in his work, taking pictures of dozens of friends before and after having several glasses of wine.

“There is a saying about wine that I really like”, Alberti said on his website: “The first glass of wine is all about the food, the second glass is about love and the third glass is about mayhem”.

“I really wanted to see it for myself if that affirmation was in fact true” he said.

The project, called 3 Glasses After, involved Alberti inviting friends for a drink and taking a picture of them as soon as they arrived.

This helped “capture the stress and the fatigue after a full day after working and facing rush hour traffic to get here”, he said.

From then, Alberti took a picture after each of four glasses of wine, with all of them showing a transition from stressed and anxious to relaxed and smiling.

“People from all walks of life, music, art, fashion, dance, architecture, advertising got together for a couple of nights and by the end of the third glass  several smiles emerged and many stories were told”, he said.

But not all guests seemed to be able to let their hair down… (Photo: www.masmorrastudio.com)
