Overview

Making
Coffee

This project captures the simple beauty and artistry of coffee being made through carefully composed, cinematic imagery. Each shot highlights the textures, movements, and studio lighting that bring this everyday ritual to life. From the grinding of the beans to the pouring of water, the visuals invite you to slow down and appreciate the quiet elegance in these small moments.
Shot on RED and vintage Cinema lenses, the project showcases my dedication to crafting beautiful, detailed cinematography even in personal work.
