Located in a lively urban setting, Cafe X Bica was designed to evoke a sense of warmth and calm—qualities we aimed to visually express through our photography. This commercial interior photography project presented a unique challenge: capturing the character of the space while working against strong natural backlighting from the counter area, which often cast the space into deep silhouette.
To address this, we adopted a carefully balanced lighting approach, maintaining the cafe’s serene ambiance without compromising the architectural and material details. Special attention was given to color accuracy and tonal harmony, ensuring that the café’s earthy palette and intimate lighting scheme were faithfully preserved, despite the complex interplay of artificial and natural light sources.
The result is a series of images that reflect the soul of the space—quiet, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. This project highlights not only the value of technical precision but also the importance of visual storytelling in capturing the experience of a space.
