"One of the biggest challenges was making an everyday Starbucks coffee shop feel visually elevated without losing the familiarity of the space. These shops are designed to be functional rather than necessarily cinematic, so the objective was finding interesting geometry and architectural depth within a fairly generic environment. We leaned into longer lenses, glass and foreground elements, and using lighting to create separation and shape, finding compositions that made the space feel more considered and layered."
