Coffee Shop
From the latte on the counter to the chalkboard menu — twenty product photos that make people want to come in for a flat white they didn't know they needed.
Eight pages of training, then 20 scenarios for coffee shop.
Every guide opens with the universal photo training. Then we get specific — each scenario shows three different camera angles you can copy on set.

The dollar-store styling kit pros actually use.
Pro Tricks
Fifteen production rules. Wipe the product. Bounce, don't add.
Six scenarios from inside the guide.
Each scenario has a title, a one-line description, and a styling tip. The PDF adds 3 phone-frame sketches showing each angle — eye-level, top-down, and a low hero shot.
The hero latte
A finished latte placed on a wooden saucer, near a window. The shot every café needs in their feed.
Cup logo close-up
Macro shot of your branding on the takeaway cup. Best brand-recognition tool you have.
Latte art top-down
The classic rosetta or heart in a flat white. The Instagram default.
Storefront from outside
The shop's facade with the open sign visible. The 'come in' shot.
Croissant cross-section
A croissant torn in half showing all the layers. Texture porn.
Closing time empty café
The empty space, lights low, chairs up. The end-of-day mood.
