A journey of photographic adventure, Two Views was born by two friends having a blast and learning from each other on a photo shoot in the autumn sunshine, asking the question “How can we continue to push our photographic boundaries in terms of technical knowledge, new challenges and creativity and have fun at the same time?” The answer we came up with was to set ourselves a project every two weeks, and then publish the results together. Two Views of the same subject / idea or technical approach. By the end of this year we will have covered 26 subjects and produced at least 50+ awesome photographs, and have learned a huge amount along the way! We’d love your comments, critiques and ideas, and if you want to “play along” too, please do let us have your shots by links in the comments sections! TJ & The Brunette

Coffee by The Blonde



I used to be a complete coffee addict! Drinking literally 5-6 cups in the morning minimum. But I realised that it was directly linked to the frequency of my awful migraines, and so had to switch to tea instead! But ahhh I do miss it! And many a morning was spent mulling things over while staring into the creamy foam on top of a mug of strong black coffee like this one! In the end I went for a very "widescreen" shape crop, I am not sure why, it just seemed to suit it. I like the abstract pattern of the sunlight on the foam, and the detail of the bubbles. I shot this outside as it was a bright sunny day with snow still on the ground, so it was like my own studio with in built reflectors!

  1. I love the creative vision to create this photo. I think capturing the shadow over the cup gives great natural contrast. The close up detail is superb!
