In my course of owning a coffee shop I understand that photography of the products pay a big role in bring customers to the door. I myself am not a professional but I do feel my picture skills are not that bad. So I have decided to show off some of my amateur photography skills. Some photos are taken on an iPhone 6plus and some are taken on a IPad Pro. I do enjoy iPhone detail in terms off photos though I do feel I’m in need of an upgrade though, desperately.
Cookies milkshake
I realise this milkshake and was thinking of a way to advertise it. The one person I least expected came to my shop and that was my sister. I told her she could have the milkshake for free, if she could just hold it out over the plants at the nursery. This is how the i managed to get this shot.
Chocolate Milkshake
I don’t know why i took this photo really but I though it looked pretty good , I added it on my Instagram and giving a short description on the quality and how at my shop we use two types of chocolates to create the chocolate milkshake.
valentines Day
I needed a product for the love couples out there one that they would love and enjoy. I knew strawberry should be the main ingredient but adding chocolate sauce around it would give it the most flavour finish touch!
I need to put this milkshake on my menu again as it tasted so good and I get reminded about it all the time.
UpGraded Chocolate Milkshake
So I recently started upgrading my chocolate milkshake and needed a photo of it. I didn’t post it on my Instagram because I felt it was too edited with the filter but for some reason I loved the photo. So I placed it on my Instagram story. I like the rustic vintage look to it though
strawberry milkshake
In the beginning business was quite as my location was abit hidden so I use to just take photos. I was abit stressed as I had put a whole lot of passion and time in my business and wanted growth. Yes business owners do get depressed and feel lonely on their journey. This photo reminds me of how far i have come with my products and self growth.. to keep pushing
Though adding filters does look cool at times I found my self liking raw images, unedited images. Maybe changing the lighting a bit but no much adjustment done. That is what I did with the marshmallow milkshake and bubblegum milkshake. I changed up the lighting up in Lightroom but did not go crazy like with the other photos. I feel it is more organic and I want to show that my milkshake do look good with out crazy edits. This is all just a big learning experience which I have enjoyed.
Thank for reading my blog, and the short scripts behind ever photo.
The editing tools I use is Lightroom mobile. I hope to keep on learning how to use it as I enjoy taking photos and seeing my products in the spotlight.
