A three-shot coffee cup sequence
An original example of a simple product story with restrained movement.
Shot one: the setting
A ceramic cup sits on a wooden table near a window. Use a static composition with enough surrounding space to establish the morning setting.
Shot two: the detail
Move to a closer view of the rim and glaze. A slow push-in gives the texture room to be the subject.
Shot three: the finish
Return to the full cup with a small amount of rising steam. Keep the silhouette and handle orientation consistent with your starting photograph.
