To match the brand story of our previous shoot at Joy Thai, I wanted to create a moody set of images that can be used on both a printed menu and social media applications for Ernie Cafe. I opted for simplicity in this shoot, choosing a white background to amplify the color of the tea and to reflect the quality of the beverages.

The juxtaposition of Jacqueline’s grace within the industrial setting was not as jarring as I thought it might be. Something about Jak’s inviting presence positioned her somewhere between rawness and elegance. Even among the bending and twisting, she just seemed to fit.
