Product Photography

The product packaging showcases
carefully chosen photographs that
effectively convey flavors. This was
particularly important for the coffee bean
offerings, giving customers a preview of
what they can expect in terms of taste.
Within the mixed drinks range, macro
photography captures the lively,
inviting ambiance of summertime.
Conversely, the coffee bean line,
emphasizes ingredients against a clean
backdrop, combined with coffee related,
lifestyle photography. This method
ensures customers have a clear
understanding of flavor and product content.

Campaign

For the campaign, we aimed to blend the
renowned coffee culture of Italy with
Vietnamese heritage. We filmed in
Procida, an island near Naples, Italy..
The objective was to craft
a summery campaign
with a focus on interaction, as
coffee has a unique ability to bring
people together globally. Deliberately
adopting a fashion-forward approach,
this campaign highlights the models,
setting Càphê apart from other coffee
brands.
