Here are a few of the photos I shot of the Cafe Plenty guys on Brighton beach a few months back (I know, I need to upload posts on my work more quickly, but this is really how busy I have been!).

So this was a tiny part in the rather monumental and extremely rewarding branding project I managed for them (here’s an in-depth piece on the work I did for them – Branding Cafe Plenty Brighton). And, as usual it was near impossible to prise these two away from their pre-opening work, so I had to hijack them after a meeting we had in Verano Lounge under the guise of a sunshine break. I had been trying to schedule a shoot for promotional purposes for some time so it wasn’t a complete surprise, but like with anything, when you have an insane workload squeezing anything else in just isn’t on the agenda.

The reason we didn’t shoot in the actual cafe is because it was still in the process of being built. So the beach was the perfect location to communicate the personalities of the guys, the city of the flagship cafe (as Plenty was to eventually be a national cafe group) and to show just how amazing it is to be in Brighton on a sunny day… The friendship chemistry is so lovely between these two so I’m glad I managed to capture that well here. The photo directly below of the guys in Verano Lounge was a totally un-staged moment. It was shot on my iPhone which is why the quality isn’t that great, but I wanted to include it anyway.

It was such a pleasure to work with these two, with never a dull moment, and as always it was truly a satisfying experience to be part of bringing a person’s visions and dreams to life – a huge reason why I do what I do…
