Cafés & Cappuccinos in Paris

  One of my favorite things to do in Paris is to park myself at a café and sip on a frothy cappuccino. We had plans to go to Café de Flore that day, but when we arrived at the popular hot spot, we realized that it was way too crowded for photos. “Oh well…C’est la vie” I thought to myself. I was more than happy to leisurely stroll through the city looking for a new location. We wandered down the street and we immediately stumbled upon Café Louise. The low key atmosphere was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle that surrounded Café de Flore. We ended up having the outdoor patio all to ourselves, which is always a bonus for photography! We grabbed a few shots before we sat back and enjoyed our cappuccinos and crepes. When I’m scouting locations for blog photos, I’m always assessing multiple elements such as the surroundings, the lighting, the backdrop, etc. Once I’m certain that I’ve found an ideal location that works on all levels, we get to work. I love to show the scene from different perspectives and I do this by using a variety of lenses and apertures. I also make a point to take detail shots because I think it gives the audience a closer look and a well-rounded experience. When it comes to editing, I always look to the photos themselves to help me choose a direction. These photos of Café Louise featured dark and neutral tones, which made me realize that I needed to stick to neutral presets. My goal was to enhance the RAW photos rather than adding any fancy tricks that might mess with the dark colors. I settled on the “Glowing” Preset from The Portrait Collection and I used some of my work flow presets to customize the look. I’ve included a video below that shows you the editing process in real time so you can see the presets in action. Enjoy!
