Coffee

So here we go, first project at the local Photography Society, the theme was coffee.

Now it took me a week before I could think of a theme, toyed with the swirls of milk in a black coffee, or just macro shots of the beans themselves, all seemed a bit simple for what we were doing.

Ultimately I came up with the idea of a beach or a pool that was the coffee cup, the plan being to have people swimming in the coffee.

Eventually the result was this, unfortunately getting the lighting to match between this shot and stock footage of swimmers wouldn’t really mesh with the lighting, I guess if id had more time and resources I could have procured some small models of swimmers and had the physically in the scene, but with the slight change to turn this into a beach/seaside scene I’m happy enough with this within the time constraints.
