On a few occasions, I brought my own mug around Coconut Grove and Coral Gables and snagged some shots of it. Mugs proved to be a little tricky to photograph. Getting it in the right focus at the right light and angle has its challenges, but I’m happy to say I feel that these came out alright. All of these were shot using my Canon EOS R with a 50 mm lens using the natural light provided by the sun.
On TikTok I created this little reel to show the mug and how I make my morning coffee.

Lastly, here are some sketches on post-it notes from when I had the idea for the wave through-the-handle video. It seemed like such a little obvious thing to do. But it wasn’t until after I had run around photographing the mug, made a coffee video and all that other stuff did it occur to me that this would be a fun video and that it would challenge me to learn how to rack focus using the Canon app from my phone. Wasn’t the easiest thing to achieve!
