Java House

Overview

Java House is a coffee house and restaurant brand. We were asked to photograph a selection of its drinks and bakes for marketing across social media, digital menus and in-store promotions.

The challenge

Food photography has to make people hungry in a fraction of a second, often on a small phone screen. The images needed to show texture, warmth and freshness, sit naturally beside the brand's existing look and offer enough variety for months of posts and promotions.

Our approach

We built the shoot around a few simple ideas: real crumbs, real steam and natural, directional light. Each product was styled on textured surfaces in the brand's warm palette, with packaging in shot where it helped tell the story, as with the Cookies Java Love range. We captured hero shots, close-up details and lifestyle frames with hands in shot, so the set works as single posts, carousels and menu images. Every frame was retouched for colour accuracy, so the coffee on screen matches the coffee on the counter.
