Steam and smoke is a way less popular theme in advertising than splash but equally interesting.

This is a short behind-the-scene from one of photography advertisement jobs we had in past for one of our clients. We made it for you to inspire and show a little bit of the  creation process of  Nescafe coffee, Enjoy!

1. Concept & previsualization

The idea was to create a coffee bean made out of steam went from a coffee cup.

The image supposed to to be used in a variety of formats so we decided to shoot every part of the composition separately. That would allow us to compose object for all vertical and horizontal formats.

Coffee jar had several absolutely different materials within itself: glass, plastic, glossy metallic paper and coffee granules. It was essential to make sure every of those parts would look the best of possible. Sometimes it make sense to set a lighting scheme for every part of the object and compose them in Photoshop.

As for the cup the only complexity was to take a few shots with different shape of coffee foam just to be sure there will be a choice.
