LOTO

Los Angeles Café and lifestyle photography for Loto, a coffee shop in Echo Park, shot entirely in natural light. The goal was to capture the calm of the backyard patio and the ritual behind the bar. The series follows the space from the garden seating to the espresso bar, with the barista at work and the details that make the place feel like home
