As a photographer, I naturally chose my preferred medium to tackle this assignment. I’ve never thought about product photography, but listening to Steve Hansen talk about his career and passion made it seem like an interesting career path. I chose to photograph a can of one of my favorite brands of coffee. UCC’s Kona Coffee with milk is my go-to caffeine drink in the mornings when I’m running a bit behind and forgot to prepare my French press that particular morning. The roast is bold and rich with a strong flavor that is neither too bitter nor sour. I believe that the packaging is a great selling point for the product, too. In the photo I wanted to capture the deep golden sheen of the can and the beautiful contrasting red palm trees, reminding us of the roots of this delicious beverage. I used a pure black backdrop so as not to distract away from this delicious product.
