Member Challenge Recap: Brown Drinks

Every month Cocktail Camera Pro members participate in monthly photo challenges and share their work in our members-only forum. These challenges are pretty casual (there isn't usually a prize or even many rules) but rather it's a fun way for members to challenge themselves creativity and enjoy learning alongside fellow members by working on a similar project.

March 2022 was our first member photo challenge which we called the #BrownChallenge. A common difficulty when photographing drinks, especially on location shoots in bars and restaurants, is capturing brown drinks on brown surfaces. It's hard to take a good photos of these types of drinks when there isn't much natural contrast between the drink's color and the surface or background (example: photographing an Old Fashioned on a wooden table).

So this month's challenges was simply taking a dynamic photo of a brown cocktail on a brown surface– that's it. No other rules, no other guidelines.
