For this weeks project photo I tried to diverge from my product photography theme and photograph coffee. I wanted to make a sunrise coffee shot with the coffee cup, beans and an old hand grinder. I had pre-visualized the lighting and it nearly matched what I had in mind but honestly I wasn't feeling it.
Stylistically it's not what I have been working on. I really enjoy when I can incorporate clean lighting and gradients on glass and shinny objects. I was not able to do that effectively for this shot and i didn't like the direction I was heading.
In the end I realized whatever photograph I ended up with it would not fit in with my current portfolio of images. I spent a few hours playing with lighting and learning what I could from this shoot but decided I would return to this theme later when I had a more cohesive idea of the end result.
