Pre Production: Culture

The two cultures I wanted to portray for my photographs in relation to my two favorite coffee blends. I was thinking Colombian and Kona coffee and respectively themed photographs.








For the Colombian coffee scene I would like to find a small bistro set and sit my model  with a mug of coffee. I am thinking of setting it up in front of a bright yellow wall. I know of one in Boyle heights if I can't find one closer sooner. I'm hoping to incorporate the colors of the flag by painting some bottles on the table red and blue.

I'm hoping to recruit my Colombian friend to be my model she may have attire appropriate incorporate more to the style I was going for with the photograph.





For the alternate Kona Coffee scene I was hoping to have the environment look more Hawaiian I was thinking of finding a model with a flower behind her ear with long dark hair wearing a long flowy dress that she could wear and some island style jewelry to be used. I would like to shoot in an actual coffee shop, ideally Buffalo Bruces in Sylmar they have wonderful colorful settings inside and out. If I could bring a potted fern plant, I would like to incorporate that into the  background of the shot. I would craft a centerpiece for the table.
